Sažetak
The 7th Framework Project Animal WelfAre Research in an enlarged Europe (AWARE), involving 14 partner institutions, among others Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Zagreb, coordinated by Marek Špinka, Czech Republic, actively lasted for 3 years (2011-2014). Its aim was to promote integration and increase the impact of European research on farm animal welfare (FAW) through development of Europe-wide networks of scientists, lecturers and students, and by establishing a network of stakeholders active in FAW knowledge transfer and implementation. The AWARE actions were organised in 3 mutually supportive Work Packages (WPs): WP1 ‘Research’ in relation to enhancement of the integration of FAW research by fostering collaboration based on mutual recognition and by enhancing networking and proposal writing skills in motivated researchers throughout Europe ; WP2 ‘Education’ focusing on promotion of cross-fertilisation in FAW university education, thus enhancing opportunities for young scientists in new and candidate countries to start research in FAW ; WP3 ‘Awareness and Implementation’ focused on promoting public awareness and implementation of EU policies, and facilitating uptake of FAW research. All WPs proceeded in 4 steps: mapping, establishing networks, improving skills and developing integration strategies. The AWARE increased the European research capacity in FAW activities through integrating the underutilized human and knowledge potential in the new and candidate countries. The project resulted in faster and more comprehensive FAW knowledge transfer across Europe. It also built a base for the future by drawing young scientists into FAW research and by enhancing harmonization of implementation of FAW legislation in the enlarged Europe.
