ANZCCART NEW ZEALAND ANIMAL CARE TECHNICIANS’ AWARDS
Animal care technicians working in research, testing and teaching organisations are
the personnel who make the use of animals possible in a wide range of experimental
situations. ANZCCART New Zealand has established a national award to recognise
the significant contribution made by individual New Zealand-based technicians,
particularly in regard to the welfare of the animals.
The Awards are offered every 3 years to coincide with the ANZCCART New Zealand
Conference. We are now calling for awards for 2014. The closing date is 30 April
2014.
The Career Award will be awarded to the individual or team whose initiatives over
time and/or a collective number of projects are reflected in a better quality of life for
the animals under their care. The Individual Project Award will be awarded to the
individual or team who has/have improved the welfare of the animals under their
care, with regards a particular issue, project or animal use case.
