Last month
the JMICAWE team and colleagues from the Vet School, Roslin Institute and SRUC were
delighted to welcome visitors from India for a tour of the school and
facilities.
Our guests
included officials and senior staff from the Indian Government and Kerala
Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (KVASU). Visiting as part of the Edinburgh-India
Inaugural Conference organised by the Edinburgh-India Office, it heralded a
successful and impressive event and generated many ideas for
next steps in capacity building around research skills and education for vets
in Kerala and Karnataka.
‘I was overwhelmed by our Keralan colleagues who proudly presented me with their newly produced Animal Welfare text book. Written mainly by staff who have attended our various workshops, the book covers a wide range of topics and is something they and we should be very pleased with. It's great to see a whole Faculty with the support of their senior management taking ownership of this subject’ (Prof Natalie Waran, Director of JMICAWE)

The
Edinburgh-India Inaugural conference that took place on the 15th and
16th May provided a forum for interdisciplinary opportunities and
helped to establish new partnerships to celebrate the University’s longstanding
engagement with India. Edinburgh academics and their Indian collaborators in humanities and
social sciences, medicine and veterinary medicine, and science and engineering were
invited to take part in the conference,
entitled ‘Innovative Engagement for Sustainable Development: The
Edinburgh-India Story’.
