Effective Animal Advocacy: Exploring Neglected Areas in Animal Welfare
Join us for an inspiring evening that highlights often-overlooked areas of animal welfare, featuring experts who are advancing impactful research and social change in this field. Each speaker will share insights into their work, explaining why their focus area is both critical and currently neglected.
Moderated by Ricard Soler, the event will include brief presentations from each speaker, followed by some questions and an open Q&A with the audience. Speakers include:
Míriam Martínez Macipe, Animal Welfare Manager at Observatorio de Bienestar Animal
Björn Jóhann Olafsson, Research Liaison at Faunalytics
Daniela R. Waldhorn, Head of Research Department at Rethink Priorities
This event offers a unique opportunity for meaningful discussions on effective animal advocacy. Whether you are well-versed in animal welfare or simply interested in learning more, you will gain actionable insights into how research and advocacy can align to drive significant change.
The panel will be held at Universitat Pompeu Fabra at the Poblenou campus. The room name is Sala Nau (51.100).
For those who can't join us in person, the event will be livestreamed here.

Finally, there is a photojournalism exhibition on campus exploring the complex relationships between human beings and non-human animals, as well as on the dynamics of discrimination and the power structures that have shaped and sustained them, based on the works of Ruth Montiel Arias and Carlos Alba. You're very welcome to have a look at it before or after our event.
