The ERC is committed to excellence in research, education and information dissemination. Research programs, based on sound scientific principles, are developed in response to industry needs. Scientific excellence is at the heart of all ERC endeavours. This is achieved through scientific peer reviews and a strong and credible international network.
Care is taken to avoid unnecessary duplication of research.
This approach also works to keep us abreast of international research developments which can be transferred to practical applications in the equine industry. Publication in major peer-reviewed journals is the most widely accepted marker of scientific quality and productivity. Other markers of our scientific achievements include invited keynote lectures at international conferences, editing of major scientific publications and contributions to textbooks. Development of tomorrow's researchers is our investment in the future. The ERC's first post-graduate students have now defended their theses.
