The Jeremy Coller Centre for Animal Sentience

We use the emerging science of animal minds to design better policies, laws and ways of caring for other animals.

Our work is directed towards ethical moonshots: ambitious, long-term impact targets that aim to restore the harmonious relationship with other species that we all want and need. The boundary between the possible and the allegedly impossible is one we aim to move.
