Scientific Programme

The Lille 2009 FECAVA Eurocongress is designed for general veterinary practitioners and final-year students. A main goal of the Congress is to promote contacts among generalists, students, and specialists.

The Scientific Programme lasts three days, from Friday to Sunday. The pre-Congress programme on Thursday is a series of breeder-veterinarian meetings.

The following is a list of the major scientific offerings presented at this first-rate European veterinary event :

renowned speakers come from all over Europe, and conferences will be presented in

French or English. Each conference level (State of the art, refresher, advanced) will be

clearly indicated.

- short communications, including brand new sources of information and discoveries

from talented speakers ;
