The Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW)[1] is an animal welfare science society. It is a UK-registered scientific and educational charity.[2][3][4]

UFAW works to improve animals' lives by promoting and supporting developments in the science and technology that underpin advances in animal welfare. It organises symposia, conferences and meetings, and publishes books, videos, technical reports and the quarterly peer-reviewed scientific journal Animal Welfare. Its work has primarily been funded by donations, subscriptions and legacies.
