Morris Animal Foundation is sponsoring 13 animal health events over the next year

The Morris Animal Foundation will fund 13 scientific symposia and conferences throughout the next year to accelerate animal health and welfare.

According to a statement from the organization,¹ a host of topics will be discussed at events such as species-specific scientific symposia and conferences, community-focused events, and more. This further supports the foundation’s mission to connect science and resources to advance animal health for cats, dogs, horses and wildlife.

“Much of our mission would not be possible without the collaboration of scientists, students and the wider community,” said Janet Patterson-Kane, BVSc, PhD, FRCVS, scientific director of the Morris Animal Foundation, in the press release. “These events give us the unique opportunity to engage with diverse groups by supporting important collaborative science initiatives around the world that are in need of financial resources.
