People & Animals: For Life will be held on 1-4 July 2010 in Stockholm, Sweden.
(27.04.2010) This is the 12th international conference arranged by the IAHAIO (International Association of Human Animal Interaction Organizations) as a forum for spreading scientific results about the positive effects of pets on humans and society.
On 1 June this year, Manimalis will hold the pre-conference Bättre folkhälsa med sällskapsdjur for the same purpose. One key reason for the choice of Sweden and Manimalis to host the conference is Sweden’s status as an international role model for responsible pet ownership.
Earlier conferences in cities like Tokyo (2007), Glasgow (2004) and Rio de Janeiro (2001) have attracted the world’s leading researchers and representatives in this field. Read more at www.IAHAIO2010.com
