Future Scientific Meetings: Save the Date!
Previous Scientific Meetings
Coronavirus / Covid 19 UpdateWe 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.

The abstract review process is completed. The list of abstracts accepted in the various categories (Resident Forum, Short Communication, Posters) can be found under the following links:
Small Animals: Accepted Small Animal Abstracts 2020
Large Animals: Accepted Large Animal Abstracts 2020
Abstracts which are not listed have not been accepted.
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.
