| 26 Monday | WelfareLab2050 Sprint #1: Policy Focus in person before IPPEJan 26, 2026 Sprint #1 – How can IPWA collaborate with IPC members to shape science-based poultry welfare policy?
What Is WelfareLab 2050? WelfareLab2050 is a global initiative coordinated by the International Poultry Welfare Alliance working to improve animal welfare science, policy, and implementation through a structured, multi-stage approach spanning 2025–2050. The initiative builds on the 2024 Icebreaker Series, which brought together voices and expertise from around the world to identify the significant issues in poultry welfare, looking ahead to 2050. WelfareLab 2050 takes on the major issues identified by stakeholders. It begins to identify tangible actions that IPWA, its members, and partners can use to functionally advance and influence these priority areas in the coming years. Starting this year, IPWA will continue to have in-depth sprints with focus groups of different expertise to identify these actions. Why IPC for Sprint #1? The goal of WelfareLab 2050 is to improve welfare science, policy, and implementation. This approach respects variability in types of production systems and the point at which different regions are in their welfare journey. IPWA wants to collaborate with IPC and its Members to draft ideas and understand what is needed to advance science-based poultry welfare policies so that the outcomes of this effort are helpful across a diverse landscape of political climates worldwide. Following the conclusion of the IPC meetings on Monday, January 26th, please attend a facilitated, interactive discussion to help shape the future direction of poultry welfare worldwide.
