Global Animal Health (Web)

This Platform is a joint initiative of industry and the research community and is actively encouraged by the European Commission services. The Platform is led by IFAH-Europe (International Federation for Animal Health, Europe) and integrates all relevant stakeholders at EU and national levels, from academia, research, farmers, veterinarians, industry, consumers, regulators, etc.
The Platform aims to facilitate and accelerate the development and distribution of the most effective tools to control animal diseases of major importance to Europe and the rest of the world. It should thereby improve animal health and welfare, food safety, human health, market access and contributing to achieving the Millennium Development Goals.

The Vision 2015 document (LINK) of the Platform was published in 2005.The Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) (LINK) is closely attached to the Animal Health Strategy 2007-2013 and exists since May 2006.
