Other meetings

The aim, progress and results of the LayWel project and parts of the project were presented on a range of meetings.

In the table below a list of these is given. One meeting needs special attention. Papers with the results of the different WPs were presented in a workshop at the 7th European Poultry Welfare Symposium, that was held in Lublin in Poland in 2005. This symposium was organised by the WPSA Working Group 9 on Poultry Welfare. They had chosen to organise the event in Poland to encourage representatives of new member states to attend the meeting. The symposium served as an appropriate and up-to-date source of information on European Poultry Welfare for these countries and as a means to present the results of their research and thus inform western European countries about their special issues. Also this Symposium was used to discuss the LayWel project with Eastern European scientists and to get input from them in the final results.
Apart from a workshop at the European Poultry Welfare Symposium the results were presented in seminars and symposia at the most important poultry exhibitions, e.g. VIV (Utrecht, NL), EUROTIER (Hannover, D), Rennes (F), Forli (I). The first two exhibitions are important for Europe including Eastern Europe, the Middle-East, Africa and Asia, while the last two address different regions of Europe.
