Project summary
This project as the follow up of SOA09, EUPLATWEL.1 aims to enhance a multi-stakeholder’s network to advance animal welfare through the consolidation and operationalisation of the knowledge platform developed in SOA09. It standardises data collection protocols across terrestrial and aquatic species, integrates interoperable datasets into a centralised system, and supports evidence-based decision-making via analytical tools, ensuring scalability, sustainability, and continuous evaluation.
Project objectives
- Strengthen multi-stakeholders’ collaboration and data governance
- Refine the standardisation and the harmonisation of animal welfare data collection
- Enable large-scale data integration and interoperability
- Ensure platform validation, usability, and continuous improvement
- Promote knowledge transfer, capacity building, and adoption
- Guarantee long-term sustainability and integration
Outcomes and impacts
- Improved animal welfare standards across the EU driven by evidence-based policymaking and enhanced multi-stakeholder collaboration.
- Increased transparency, traceability, and trust in EU food systems through accessible and reliable animal welfare data.
- Establishment of a FAIR-compliant knowledge infrastructure supporting long-term data availability and reuse.
- indicators and monitoring processes for future EU activities.
- Generation of new scientific insights through large-scale, integrated data analysis.
- Contribution to more sustainable, ethical, and resilient livestock production and fisheries systems.
- Societal, economic, and environmental benefits aligned with EU priorities on sustainable agriculture, food system transparency, and animal welfare.
