Coronavirus / Covid 19 Update

We are very sorry to have to announce that the Annual Scientific Meeting in Valencia, is cancelled.  With so much uncertainty about when normality or near-normality might return, a postponement date is equally impossible to guarantee currently. The Board would like to thank the Programme Committee, local organisers and the speakers for all the hard work they put into organizing this meeting.

The information for delegates, authors and sponsors on this site is continuously being updated.

Registration

All registration fees will be fully refunded.

All persons who have already registered and paid for the meeting have been contacted personally. Delegates can choose to be reimbursed or leave the payment as a credit towards next year's meeting. Due to the large amount of inquries to be dealt with at the moment, refunds may take a few days to be carried out. Thank you very much for your understanding.

Corona-Virus / COVID-19 Update

In the current situation with the Annual Scientific Meeting 2020 being cancelled, the editorial team of Veterinary Surgery and Wiley Publishing have kindly agreed to still publish the short abstracts in Veterinary Surgery (online) in July. Authors of an accepted abstract have been given the option to

1) leave the abstract as it is (for online publication)
2) withdraw the abstract to be submitted for another meeting
3) withdraw the abstract to be re-submitted for the Annual Scientific Meeting 2021 (it will then be evaluated again along with the newly submitted abstracts)

The accepted abstracts have now been submitted to Veterinary Surgery. Further withdrawals are no longer possible.

Online Resident Forum

ECVS ran a mini-version of the Annual Scientific Meeting on 2 July 2020 by hosting the three Resident Forums online.

Resident Forum Programme

Sincere thanks to the session chairs, Residents and discussants who took on this special challenge, to the Webinar Vet who supported us with the technical implementation, and Prof. James Wood from the University of Cambrige for giving us an opening lecture on probably the most pressing issue of these times: COVID-19.

Recordings of all three streams are available to all Residents and Diplomates soon via their 'your ECVS' area.
