There are just over three weeks to go until our Brussels conference, “Animal Protection and EU Law: Recent Developments and Prospective Change.”
Co-organized with the Fondation Droit Animal, Éthique & Sciences (LFDA), the day-long gathering on Tuesday 18th November will take stock of the announcements made by the European Commission and the Member States in the context of the revision (“modernization”) of EU animal welfare legislation.
The speakers and panel members – who will include policymakers from the EU institutions, animal advocacy representatives, and academics – will propose solutions to ensure the announced modernization delivers optimal results for animals, including identifying convergence opportunities between animal protection and economic objectives, such as fair competition and economic efficiency.

Join us at our webinar on 26th January, when Dr. Neil Dullaghan and Alice Di Concetto will discuss his new book, “The Compassion Mandate.” It examines how the EU’s leadership on animal welfare advanced and then stalled, and how Europe’s credibility as a champion of humane progress can be rebuilt.
On November 26th, Junior Researcher Gladys Le Goff took the floor at the French National Assembly, contributing to a hearing on the recent motion for an EU Resolution to adapt the legal status of animals in sanctuaries.
Our conference, with LFDA, “Animal Protection and EU Law: Recent Developments and Prospective Change” in Brussels last week brought together over 50 participants from more than 30 organizations.
