Welcome to the 1st International Electronic Conference on Animals — Global Sustainability and Animals: Science, Ethics and Policy
Dear scientists, researchers, and authors,
We are pleased to announce that the 1st International Electronic Conference on Animals — Global Sustainability and Animals: Science, Ethics and Policy will open for discussions on 5th December at https://ieca2020.sciforum.net/.
This conference will be a robust common platform for leading scientists working in the field of Animal Science to share and discuss their latest research and to promote the advancement of this exciting and rapidly changing field. We hope to encourage discovery across the discipline as we cover the following five broad themes in sessions A–E:
- Climate change and sustainability of animal systems
- Sustainability of animal use and demand for animal products
- Animal welfare, ethics, policy, and politics
- Animal health and sustainability
- Sustainable animal feeding
Participants will have the opportunity to examine, explore, and critically engage with issues and advances in these areas. We hope to facilitate discussions and exchange within the community. We proudly invite the global community of scholars to join IECA2020 to present their latest animal research and development and share novel ideas about the multidisciplinary aspects of research and development of global sustainability and animals
We hope you will be able to join this exciting event, which is organized and sponsored by MDPI, a scholarly open access publisher (https://www.mdpi.com/). We look forward to your contributions and discussions.
Clive Phillips,
Chair of the 1st International Electronic Conference on Animals — Global Sustainability and Animals: Science, Ethics and Policy.
