BBC Scotland
A new £2m centre focusing on international animal welfare has officially opened in Midlothian, Scotland.
The Jeanne Marchig International Centre for Animal Welfare Education is part of the University of Edinburgh's Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies.
Academics said it would "empower" vet students to work across the world.
It will collaborate with international partners to deliver wide-ranging educational initiatives catering for different audiences and cultures.
It is already forging links with welfare and veterinary organisations in China and India.
