The UPF-Centre for Animal Ethics (UPF-CAE) is an animal advocacy think tank based at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Spain. It works on animal ethics, anti-speciesism, and non-anthropocentric ethical perspectives in academia, politics, and the media. The centre was established in December 2015.
History and activities
The UPF-Centre for Animal Ethics was established in December 2015. La Vanguardia described it at the time as the first think tank on animal ethics in Spain.[1]
In 2019, the centre co-organised the 6th Conference of the European Association for Critical Animal Studies in Barcelona, together with the European Association for Critical Animal Studies.[2][3]
The centre launched the Media Observatory of Speciesism in 2018. The observatory analyses the representation of animals in the media from an anti-speciesist perspective and publishes recommendations on media coverage.[4]
