EUPAHW: Gestaltung der Zukunft der Tiergesundheit und des Tierschutzes

The call supports twelve priority Research Actions identified in the EUPAHW Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA). Research in these areas aims to: • Develop effective, scalable solutions to prevent and control animal infectious disease, including zoonoses focusing on interventions such as improved biosecurity, vaccines, and therapeutics. • Advance the understanding and implementation of improved welfare practices across the full lifecycle of farmed terrestrial and aquatic animals. • Address the socio-economic dimensions of animal health and welfare, including trade-offs within sustainable production systems. Network: EUPAHW Aim of the joint call: The European Partnership for Animal Health and Welfare (EUPAHW) is launching this research and innovation call to tackle critical challenges in the health and welfare of terrestrial and aquatic animals. This initiative forms part of a broader strategic effort to accelerate the transition towards sustainable, resilient, and ethically responsible livestock and aquaculture systems across Europe.
