Building bridges, not silos: Connecting research, sanctuaries, and advocacy

DISCUSSION

Room B

Sat, 05.09.2026  12:20-13:20  Central European Time (CET)

Join us for an open discussion exploring how researchers, sanctuaries, and advocates can work together more effectively to support social change for animals.

We often share overlapping goals but frequently operate in isolation from one another. Drawing on developmental psychology research and sanctuary experience, the speakers will reflect on the challenges and opportunities to build connections across these three spaces.

The session will also invite discussions on future interdisciplinary collaborations, including research partnerships, educational initiatives, and new approaches to engaging society in conversations about animals and ethics.
