The Brussels Times was side by side with us in shock that there was no mention of animal welfare in the European Commission’s 2026 Work Programme last week.

There are just over three weeks to go until our Brussels conference, “Animal Protection and EU Law: Recent Developments and Prospective Change.”

On October 30th, the Jeremy Coller Foundation (Coller Animal Law Forum) will organize a webinar on the topic of climate change litigation and factory farming, with Daina Bray (Yale Law School), Edie Bowles (Animal Law Foundation) and Nieves Noval, moderated by Alice Di Concetto and Celine Montloin.
