It is my pleasure to introduce and invite you to take part on the IV One Welfare World Scientific Conference, which will be held in Burgos, with a hybrid format, on the 10th and 11th October 2023. 

The concept of One Welfare describes the interrelationships between animal welfare, human wellbeing and the physical and social environment. The One Welfare Framework comprises five sections which are intended to capture the different multidimensional aspects of the concept. This conference centres around the relevance of One Welfare in our society, with a focus on global fashion around what we wear, eat and have, our history, and the environment and nature that surround us. 

During the conference, global experts in different areas that relate to animal welfare, human wellbeing and the environment will present and discuss their latest experiences and research in the area of One Welfare.

The One Welfare World Conference key goal is to bring together a multidisciplinary group of professionals with an interest, working directly or indirectly, on areas related to animal welfare, human wellbeing and the environment; Professionals who are passionate about how these elements and their varied skills complement each other in their daily activities; Professionals who would like to share their knowledge and experiences as well as learn from the latest research and developments in the area.

Sharing and joining up to discuss scientific research and evidence is essential to showcase the benefits of the One Welfare approach in a tangible manner, serving to other researchers, industry and policy makers in their work. This helps to build up a robust evidence base around One Welfare and adoption of the concept globally to help make the world a better place.

On behalf of the scientific and organising committees, we welcome you to this conference and look forward to your participation and engagement.
