Preface
The Doyle Foundation was established in honour of Dr. John J. Doyle’s life and work. See more About John J Doyle. The Doyle Foundation is registered as a Charity under Scots law since 2000, and is regulated by the Office of the Scottish Charities Regulator (OSCR) – Scottish Charity Number 208242. The Foundation was launched at the University of Glasgow Veterinary School, on June 30, 2000. Its purpose is to advocate and provide support for the role of science in international development.In keeping with Dr. Doyle’s wide interests and beliefs that science should be directed at solving clearly defined problems, The Doyle Foundation's aim is to mobilise new and creative thinking towards meeting the goal of the better use of science and technology for the benefit of people in developing countries. The Foundation supports education, research, and public awareness activities to contribute to this goal.
Specifically, The Doyle Foundation provides a forum for analysis and advocacy of the role of science in development with special regard to livestock research and to the applications of modern biotechnology. Emphasis is given to identifying the research needed to reduce the constraints on production of livestock, especially in Africa, and targeted broadly to livestock health and production, and related fields. The Foundation's activities also include support for research fellowships, particularly to encourage young scientists to pursue a research career. |
