The SCAR Animal Health and Welfare CWG held its annual plenary meeting from 9-10^th December 2024 in Rome, with the possibility of online participation for members unable to attend in person. The aim of the meeting was to consolidate the European network with authorities, funders, experts and private partners with a strong interest in animal health and animal welfare. The first day was dedicated to the meetings of the two subgroups of the CWG (Animal Welfare subgroup and Strategy & Foresight Unit), which ended with a joint sequence for the first time to optimise discussion within the CWG. The plenary meeting was held on the second day, and the following presentations were recorded and are now available online:

• European Partnership on Animal Health and Welfare - Nathalie Vanderheijden & Véronique Rebholtz
• Introduction to SCAR FISH - Andrea Marsella
