MiMer Centre is an education and research centre outside Lund in Skåne, Sweden. We strive to connect the practical aspects on working with horses and horse assisted activites, with research and theory.
MiMer Centre (Minds in Motion Education and Research Centre) was founded in 2013. Our mission is to do and promote research on horses as biological, emotional, social and cognitive beings. It means seeing the individual, but also putting the horse in its environment and asking questions about horses from perspectives other than the equestrian. But also do and promote research on and spread knowledge about horse assisted activites, esecially horse assisted therapy
Foremost we study horses and horse-human interaction, but we also do comparative research on other animals (also humans).
Our vision is to, by new knowledge and new angles on old knowledge, contribute to a better world for horses, to increase their overall welfare, as individuals, as specie and as a part of existing and developing ecological systems. But also to better understand what the relationship between humans and horses is and what goes on in human-horse interaction, with main focus on horse assisted therapies.
