TransformDairyNet is a new 26 multi-actor project across Europe in which Dr Jessica Stokes, Associate Professor in Farm Animal Welfare Science and Policy, is co-coordinating with UCD to upscale cow-calf dairy systems across Europe. The first facilitation training for the project took place at the Royal Agricultural University in July 2024.

The facilitators will now mobilise groups of current and curious cow-calf dairy farmers to work together to share existing practice and develop new knowledge through farmer-led innovation.  

A pan industry group called “Controlling ANTiparasitic resistance in Equines Responsibly (CANTER)”, led by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) and a group of stakeholder vets, academics and the industry, has developed and published a set of best practice guidelines on sustainable parasite control for horses in order to slow down the development of anthelmintic resistance.  

Dr Simon Daniels, Associate Professor Equine Management and Science, has been involved since the outset of this journey in 2021 when the pan industry group led by the VMD was formed.

My RAU experience

I chose to study the MSc Conservation and Management of Historic Buildings because the course contents aligned perfectly with what I wished to study, and offered me an ideal blend of theoretical knowledge and learning alongside practical skills.

Accommodation fees to pay 2024-25

We are happy to announce the introduction of a Vice-Chancellor’s International Bursary, which provides financial support to assist with accommodation costs on campus.

This bursary is open to new International MSc, PGDip and MBA Postgraduate students starting courses in January 2025.

We are committed to resolving the future challenges facing global food production and distribution, whilst facing the environmental and cultural pressures of increased demand. 

These challenges cannot be solved by one country; they require common purpose from experts around the world. This Scholarship will help enable students seeking entry in January 2025 to develop their skills at RAU and become part of the future network of global champions.
