Expert Groups
To ensure a dynamic link between scientific progress and industry needs, GEHNA establishes
“Expert Groups” that focus on specific thematic areas such as nutrient requirements, feed
evaluation systems, sustainability, and welfare. These groups form the scientific and
collaborative backbone of GEHNA. Each Expert Group may include “specialized Panels” such
as “Consensus Panels” or “Consortium Panels” tasked with developing defined outputs.
Expert Group deliverables may include:
- Organizing an initial meeting or workshop to summarize current knowledge and
- identify research gaps;
- Developing ideas for joint or collaborative research proposals for public or private
funding; - Creating shared databases, methodologies, or global standards;
- Preparing review or position papers to harmonize international practices;
- Developing guidelines and consensus statements;
- Producing a review paper or summary report;
- Compiling an overview of global systems and practices;
- Formulating research questions and — where a mandate exists — coordinating a
full research project in cooperation with GEHNA.
