WG4-CWIndex

WG4 is calling for your help and contribution to this important achievement!

One of the key expected deliverables of the COST Action FA1301 WG4 is the development of a Cephalopod Welfare Index database aimed to support the Cephalopod Welfare Index (CWI) Model: an operational, internet based decision support system based on a semantic model aimed for monitoring and assessing cephalopod welfare.

CephsInAction CWI Database is currently open for contributions!

A short guidance, the CWI-database manual and a short video are available here!
