The Vilnius University Museum of Zoology will contribute to the celebration of this Year of Animal Welfare together with the Baltic Association for Laboratory Animal Science by organizing the conference "Animal Welfare in Scientific Research" and the exhibition "From Vivisection to Animal Rights" in the first quarter of 2022.

We will also strive to organize public (and student) education on animal welfare issues at the Vilnius University Zoological Museum: educational excursions, events, and volunteer initiatives throughout 2022.

We invite you to follow the information, care about ANIMAL WELFARE, and if you are interested, attend the activities we organize!
