Object:

a. to encourage and support basic and applied research into the behaviour of animals as related to the use of animals by humans. This includes domestic, laboratory, zoo, companion, pest and captive animals or managed wild animals; b. to stimulate the incorporation into practice of advances resulting from research into animal behaviour. This includes the application of results for the improvement of animal welfare, protection and legislation; standards for management and housing of animals; nature conservation; food security; and sustainable livestock production. c. to provide an international forum in which scientists can communicate and discuss the results of the above research.

This can be realised by encouraging presentations, discussions and publications and by maintaining contacts with appropriate scientific societies; e. to encourage and support the teaching of animal behaviour in research and academic institutions, especially veterinary schools, departments of animal science and animal production, and departments concerned with laboratory or companion animals or captive wildlife; f. to provide a pool of expertise to national governments, international bodies, industry and to those animal welfare organizations which deal with problems involving animal behaviour. To encourage, where possible and appropriate, the assimilation of scientific knowledge so as to facilitate its use in relation to practical problems concerning the way animals are kept and cared for. The charitable purposes of the ISAE are the advancement of science, of education, and of animal welfare.

Operations:

What the charity is set up to do and how it does this:

ISAE provides a forum for the presentation and discussion of advances in applied animal behaviour science and education, and inspires further innovations through an annual international scientific congress and regional meetings. Applied Animal Behaviour Science is the official journal of ISAE. The study of applied animal behaviour contributes to a greater understanding of the interactions between humans and other animals and helps to create a better balance between animal welfare and the requirements that humans have of other animals. ISAE members work on a wide variety of animal species and topics: e.g. the management and welfare of livestock; the interactions between humans and companion animals; the impacts of housing on the behaviour and welfare of zoo and laboratory animals. ISAE provides a pool of independent experts for governments, international bodies, industry, and NGOs.

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises. If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions.

From 30 June 2025, OSCR began collecting charity trustee information through OSCR Online. Providing this information is a legal requirement for all charities. The names of trustees will be published on the Scottish Charity Register from early 2026 to promote transparency and strengthen public trust in the sector.

Charity accounts and constitution – what information do we publish?
