A2S Team at Animal and Veterinary Sciences Doctoral Programme Workshop

The A2S team made a significant impact at the Animal and Veterinary Sciences Doctoral Programme workshop, hosted by the Institute of Biomedical Sciences Abel Salazar (ICBAS) of the University of Porto. Contributing actively to the event’s success, the team delivered eight presentations and showcased one poster, underlining their expertise in the field.

The workshop, organized as part of the Doctoral Programmes in Animal Sciences and Veterinary Sciences, aimed to promote advanced research and training in areas critical to sustainable animal production, welfare, and environmental protection. With ICBAS’ renowned multidisciplinary approach in life sciences, the event brought together leading researchers from associated national and international institutions, fostering excellence and collaboration across various specialties in animal and veterinary sciences.

The A2S team’s participation reflects their commitment to advancing the field, aligning with the program’s goals of promoting innovative research to address modern challenges in animal science and food production.
