28th of April 2008,

Today we are celebrating the World Veterinary Day.

This day represents the idea, on whose principles our organisation, the I.V.S.A.
was found:

To bring together and unite veterinarians all over the world, to make us realize
that we are all members of one profession and to help all of us to improve our
service for the animals by strenghtening our international cooperation.

In this spirit, we - the EXCO - wish all members of I.V.S.A. a great "World
Veterinary Day"!

   Emphasizing the cultural and educational exchange, I am glad to announce our next IVSA event: an IVSA-Vetstart Conference, held at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, , from May 16th until 18th 08.

Please have a look at the short outline of the program and other information below.

   For the first 50 applicants, we will provide free accommodation at a youth hostel closed to the hosting university.

   We will have an educational program as well as the cultural and social event-traditions!

   Click below ("Read more") to find the application form, please send it asap, if you are interested.

Just contact me (president@ivsa.org) if you have any other questions!

  I hope to see a lot of you soon in Vienna, to make this Conference a memorable IVSA event.
