This week, the Animal Advocacy Conference bringing together behavioural scientists, animal activists and advocates from around the world, meet at the University of Kent. <\/p>\n
Over three days the conference will bring together researchers from different fields in the social and behavioural sciences, and animal activists and advocates from around the world!\u00a0This conference uniquely bridges the gap between academic researchers and activists\/professionals in the field of vegan and animal rights advocacy. Join us for a stimulating environment where academics and activists\/advocates exchange relevant knowledge, engage in lively debates, share their ideas, and can start collaborations.<\/p>\n
