On 4 August, the European COST Action LIFT will organize a satellite workshop on positive animal welfare, that allows all ISAE delegates to register and attend. During this workshop, the latest conceptual research in the field of positive animal welfare, currently being carried by members of the COST Action ‘LIFTing farm animal lives’, will be interactively presented and discussed. The workshop will be divided into three themes covering definitions of key concepts (e.g. the timescale of positive states), methodologies (e.g. assessment and indicators) and on-farm applications (i.e., a catalogue for positive animal welfare assessment). Leaders of each topic will shortly present their latest findings and remaining questions, and these questions will be addressed in smaller groups.

More information will be available soon.
