Canine welfare and behaviour knowledge transfer.
At the University of Lincoln, knowledge transfer is at the heart of everything we do. By collaborating with industry, charities, and government bodies, we ensure that research in animal behaviour and welfare translates into practical tools and measurable impact.
Bridging research and practice
Our knowledge transfer partnerships ensure that groundbreaking research doesn’t remain in the lab. We work directly with partners to adapt academic insights into usable, effective tools that improve animal welfare worldwide.
Through these collaborations, we create solutions like the K9 Metrics tools, which deliver objective assessments of canine welfare and behaviour to professionals across multiple sectors.
Collaborating with industry leaders
We partner with leading organisations in the veterinary, animal welfare, and canine training sectors. These partnerships allow us to co-develop innovative systems that meet the real needs of practitioners.
Our industry collaborations ensure that every project is grounded in real-world application and delivers value for both animals and the people who care for them.
Supporting charities and NGOs
Our team actively works with charities and NGOs to strengthen their welfare monitoring systems. By applying evidence-based tools, these organisations can better evaluate outcomes and demonstrate impact to funders and regulators.
The flexibility of our approach means charities of all sizes can benefit from our expertise, whether in animal rehoming, working dog welfare, or behavioural assessment.
Driving policy and standards
Beyond practice, our research informs policy-making and welfare standards at national and international levels. By contributing data-driven insights, we help ensure that legislation and guidance protect animals effectively and sustainably.
Our knowledge transfer work supports the development of best-practice frameworks that are widely adopted across the animal welfare sector.
