The Netherlands, 2008 EAAP Program Foundation Aims EAAP aims to bring to our annual meetings, speakers who can present the latest findings and views on developments in the various fields of science relevant to animal production and its allied industries. In order to sustain the quality of the scientific program that will continue to entice the broad interest in EAAP meetings we have created the “EAAP Program Foundation”. This Foundation aims to support • Invited speakers with a high international profile by funding part or all of registration and travel costs. • Delegates from less favoured areas by offering scholarships to attend EAAP meetings • Young scientists by providing prizes for best presentations The “EAAP Program Foundation” is an initiative of the Scientific committee (SC) of EAAP. The Foundation aims to stimulate the quality of the scientific program of the EAAP meetings and to ensure that the science meets societal needs. The Foundation Board of Trustees oversees these aims and seeks to recruit sponsors to support its activities. Sponsorships 1.
