Through enhancing communication between various fields, the Canine Science Forum aims at substantiating canine biology in order to develop it as a major model for biological investigations. The canine science forum also intends to utilize science as a source of knowledge to promote:

  • Consolidation of an interdisciplinary field of canine biology
  • Better integration of dogs in our rapidly changing modern society
  • Dog science that develops non-invasive research technologies (good scientific practice)

The Canine Science Forum is also aimed to spread information on the advantageous roles of dogs in our society and thus increase their well-being.
