In order to further improve the animal protection additional solutions and measurements need to be developed and applied.
This call is targeted to applied research projects that contributes to increased animal protection.
- The projects shall consider animals that are kept permanently, or for a limited period, by humans.
- The projects shall have a pronounced and clear relevance for the animal protection of the animal species referred to in the application.
For applied research, the combination of scientifically based knowledge and knowledge based on practice and proven experience are of great value. There is a need for collaboration and coordination between different actors, within and between academia, industry, companies and society. The projects shall therefore be multi-party projects and at minimum consist of one project part from academia and one from the business sector.
