Description:
As planned and already announced last year Athens is supposed to host the ECVPH Annual Scientific Conference and Annual General Meeting 2020, at the National School of Public Health from 23d to 25th September 2020. Local Organizers will be the Hellenic Veterinary Academy together with the School of Public Health of the University of West Attica.
The situation as to the the COVID-19 pandemic is certainly carefully being considered but preparations are currently ongoing and the organisers would very much look forward to welcoming you in Athens in late September this year.
The conference will be focusing on "Transforming food systems: A new era for VPH!" and will revolve around three main themes currently being specified. The draft Programme will be published with the opening of the Registration in May. Please don’t forget to send your workshop proposal for consideration and inclusion in the Conference programme. The organisers also hope that it would in general be possible and you may want to decide to stay for the weekend to explore more of Athens or even Greece itself.
We will in any case update you regarding the further development (as to COVID-19 and its impact) and would really look forward to seeing you all in Athens this Autumn!
