The European Federation for Primatology (EFP) was founded on December 17, 1993. The seat of the Federation is Niederhausbergen (France). The EFP brings together national primatological societies, as well as groups of primatologists in those countries of Europe where such societies are not yet founded. The EFP members, who belong to societies or groups affiliated to the Federation, are involved in fundamental research, applied biomedical research and zoo management. This accounts for more than 1100 scientists, graduate students and zoo managers. More than 30 academic institutions are represented in the EFP through their membership. The colonies of primates which belong to these institutions account for about 2000 non-human primates. == Purposes == The purpose of the Federation is: *To coordinate actions related to primatology between the different European societies. Such coordination include: * *Circulation of information between the different national primatological societies and groups of primatologists. * *Meetings of the different national societies, specialist groups and other workshops. * *Scientific activities, research and educational projects relevant to primatology. *To promote rational management of captive primates and to make primate subjects and study sites available to a maximum number of students and researchers. *To provide the Council of Europe and other European institutions with experts on all issues related to primatology. *To participate, through the Council of Europe, in decisions relevant to primate trade and primate captive breeding. *To promote the establishment of national societies of primatologists, national groups and European specialist groups of primatologists. The aims of all affiliated societies or groups are identical to those of the International Primatological Society, IPS: *To encourage all areas of non-human primatological scientific research. *To facilitate cooperation among scientists of all nationalities engaged in primate research. *To promote the conservation of all primate species. Protection of captive primates, i.e. the improvement of their well-being, is one of the most important activities within EFP. Therefore EFP promotes dialogue with all people involved in primatology and studies providing scientific evidence on primate welfare issues. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「European Federation for Primatology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
