Researcher member of ICALP Marine Lercier, a doctoral student at the Faculty of Law of the Autonomous University of Barcelona, was selected among other candidates to present her contribution on the welfare and legal protection of animals used in sport, focusing in particular on the use of horses in sports as a means of profit for companies through horse racing.
