Held each spring, the Campbell Centre Research Symposium covers a range of topics related to animal welfare, animal ethics and the role of animals in society. The aim of the symposium is to provide a forum for faculty and graduate students to share research results, techniques and ideas (even problems and sticking points); and to foster discussion and collaboration among the many interested individuals and research groups across campus.

The Symposium was jointly organized by the Ontario Veterinary College, Ontario Agricultural College and the Col. KL Campbell Centre for the Study of Animal Welfare (CSAW). The objectives of the symposium were (1) to raise awareness about how animals, and the people who care for them, are affected during disease outbreaks and natural disasters, and (2) to share knowledge about how animal welfare may be addressed during these situations.
