2009 Meeting for members of Animal Ethics Committees

A meeting for members of Animal Ethics Committees and AEC Executive Officers was held on 15th April 2009 at the Australian Catholic University in North Sydney.

The programme was comprehensive, with presentations and discussions on Housing Guidelines, Wildlife Research and Hot Topics for AECs: Looking beyond application approvals.

Great presentations by the keynote speakers were particularly well received. Dr Cullum Brown gave a fascinating presentation on fish welfare and A/Professor Paul McGreevy presented some illuminating insights into animal behaviour.
