Good engagement and communication between scientists and the AWERB are essential to ensure that the AWERB can implement all of its functions effectively, with benefits for animal welfare, science, staff morale and the establishment’s culture of care. However, some AWERB members may have little contact with scientists other than during project review. Conversely, scientists may be unfamiliar with the AWERB’s tasks, apart from project review, and unsure how the AWERB can benefit them. This webinar, led by the RSPCA Animals in Science team, will discuss ways to improve this working relationship and foster mutual understanding through clear communication and engagement.
