There is a growing realisation and hence demand for the application of economics in animal health decision-making, but economic tools and concepts on incentives around decision-making are rarely well taught to animal health professionals.
The NEAT’s consortium aimed to design and develop educational materials and methods, disseminate them to partners and end-users, and evaluate their wider impacts on society. NEAT stood for “Networking to enhance the use of economics in animal health education, research, and policymaking in Europe and beyond” and was a 3-year project co-funded by the Lifelong Learning Programme of the European Union.
