Abstract
Research School for Animal Production and Health (RAPH) – A Description of a Danish Research Education Initiative
Highlights
The Research School for Animal Production and Health (RAPH) was set up in 1998 as a sibling to the Research Centre for the Management of Animal Production and Health (CEPROS)
RAPH's primary contribution to the resolution of these issues was to educate researchers capable of solving the complex multidisciplinary problems associated with impaired animal health and welfare
The creation of a research school to meet these new demands was a bold initiative, and at first it was met with a certain amount of scepticism
Summary
The Research School for Animal Production and Health (RAPH) was set up in 1998 as a sibling to the Research Centre for the Management of Animal Production and Health (CEPROS). Both of these research organisations were created because it was felt, within Danish agriculture, that there was an urgent need to solve a number of multifactorial problems. RAPH's primary contribution to the resolution of these issues was to educate researchers capable of solving the complex multidisciplinary problems associated with impaired animal health and welfare. The scientific detail of multidisciplinary research projects will be covered by Dr Houe. The research school is a formal subdivision of Graduate School for Veterinary and Agricultural Sciences in Denmark. It has its own PhD programme, which operates under the auspices of the general PhD programme of the Graduate School (Figure 1). Thirty-seven students are currently enrolled in the programme, and nine more will be enrolled during the remaining project period, which expires 2002
