Conference Knowing Animals:
Cross-fertilisation between natural and social sciences for understanding the quality of life of animals

The Welfare Quality® project promotes the academic conference Knowing Animals.
This conference will take place on 5 - 6 March 2009 in Florence, Italy.

Through a two day discussion, around five specific themes, we aim at establishing what we believe is an increasingly necessary dialogue and cross-fertilisation of ideas and perspectives between animal scientists and social scientists to reflect upon the practices of knowledge production and the understanding of animals, their agency and the quality of their lives that such practices generate.
