Une traduction simultanée en Français est organisée pour le programme d’éducation continue

Dear Friends and Colleagues, 

We would like to invite you to join us for the 25th Congress of the European Society and College of Veterinary Dermatology in the beating heart of Europe: “Brussels”.

This year the ESVD and ECVD have the pleasure to welcome two other associations: the International Society of Veterinary Dermatopathology (ISVD) and the Veterinary Wound Healing Association (VWHA).

The Scientific Organizing Committee has selected a number of internationally recognized experts who will deliver state of the art lectures in both the Scientific and the Continuing Education Sessions. The congress will be held in the Square Brussels Meeting Centre and three modern and comfortable conference rooms will be available.
The continuous education programme will be simultaneously translated in French.

The main theme of the Congress will be: bacterial and viral diseases in dogs and cats, methicillin-resistant infections in animals and man, immune mediated diseases in dogs and cats, melanocyte biology and diseases, wound healing and dressings in animals, atopic dermatitis and food allergy and epidermal stem cells and hair follicles diseases.

The Local Organizing Committee has selected one of the most beautiful city in Europe to welcome ESVD, ECVD, ISVD and VWHA. In Brussels beats different architectural styles from the magnificent gothic Grand’Place to the “Art Nouveau” houses near the new giant glass cube of the Square Brussels Meeting Centre. You will have to possibility to discover the creativity of Belgian Artist from Breughel, to Magritte and to the Belgian comic strips like Tintin... You will have also the opportunity to taste some Belgian specialties like the mussels with fries, special beers, waffles, cuberdons, speculoos and the wonderful chocolates… In Brussels you will also find a friendly atmosphere  where you will feel very welcome! That’s what we call “the Belgian way”! The welcome reception will be in the Brussels City Hall located on the Brussels Grand Place and the dinner and dance evening in the theater of Le Plazza Hotel.

This meeting will be a wonderful opportunity for meeting colleagues from all over the world in a friendly atmosphere and sharing scientific and cultural experiences.

Finally this meeting could not be planned and organized without the generous sponsorship of our Long term Partners (ICF Italia, Merial and Royal Canin), all the other sponsors, and the Congress Organization provided by Pauwels Congress Organisers (PCO).

The Local Organizing Committee would like to thank the Mayor of Brussels Freddy Thielemans, the Brussels Congress Bureau and Wallonie Bruxelles Tourisme for their important support in the organization of this congress. 

We look forward seeing you in Brussels!
