We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new initiative, the Welfare Footprint Project’s Office Hours Program. This program is designed to open our virtual doors every week, providing a platform for discussions on any topic related to our work and its potential applications in the field of animal welfare.
The Office Hours Program is open to anyone with a genuine interest in animal welfare. Whether you are a researcher, student, professional, potential collaborator, advocate, or simply an individual passionate about animal welfare, we invite you to discuss your interests or concerns with us. Our meetings can be conducted in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.
Our research directors, Cynthia and Wladimir, are available to discuss a wide range of topics. These include estimating welfare impact, determining the impact of interventions, discussing our findings, discussing project ideas, among others. Each session is designed to be a brief, focused one-on-one conversation of up to 30 minutes.
To participate, simply visit our calendar and select a time slot that works best for you. We look forward to engaging with you!
