BEF and BSAS Join Forces For New Initiative
The British Equestrian Federation and the British Society of Animal Science have joined together to form a new initiative set to revolutionise the way in which the horse industry integrates with academic establishments.
The innovation called Advancing Equine Scientific Excellence (AESE), to be implemented in three stages, kicks off with its inaugural Roadshow in December and a series of roadshows will be rolled out across the country over the next two years.
Students on both equine and non-equine related courses will be able to collaborate to carry out research projects which the horse industry needs. Supported by the roadshows, which will focus on study design and statistical analysis, there is scope for some large scale projects to be undertaken which will help to inform the horse industry and provide fruitful research projects for students to undertake.
AESE helps to deliver the aspect of the London 2012 Equestrian Legacy Plan which refers to the linkage between sport, industry and academic world.
