Moredun commended for its education and training

Her Royal Highness the Princess Royal has attended an Education and Training in Livestock Science event at Moredun, along with over 100 delegates from the veterinary, agricultural, government and research sectors.

The event was held at Moredun's headquarters to discuss creative and innovative ways to communicate research to the farming community and to encourage the next generation to take up careers in livestock science.

During her visit, the Princess Royal commended the various education, training and public engagement initiatives taking place at the institute to help raise awareness and promote uptake of new research technologies to improve livestock health and welfare.

She listened to a series of short presentations during her stay that highlighted many of Moredun's initiatives, developed to improve the effectiveness of science communication and training. They also included some projects to involve and inspire new audiences.

The Princess Royal then had a private tour of Moredun's Communications Centre and met the Moredun Education Group, who showed her some of their educational activities developed for use in primary and secondary schools, as well as a group of scientists, who discussed transferring their new technologies to the farm.

Chairman of the Moredun Foundation, Ian Duncan Millar, said: "Moredun's research to develop disease control strategies is of vital importance to improve animal health and welfare and help to safeguard food security.

"However, developing the research knowledge is only part of the solution. Sometimes the greater challenge is to effectively communicate the technology to make sure it can be of use to those that need it most."
