Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 7th International Conference of the European College of Veterinary Microbiology (ECVM). The ECVM oversees and accredits specialist training and registration for Veterinary Microbiologists within Europe. Our annual scientific meeting is held in September each year in conjunction with our residency training workshops, exams and annual general meeting. The meeting brings together groups from clinical, research, diagnostic laboratory, university, and government service from across Europe to share knowledge of animal health and infectious diseases. Scientists interested in infectious diseases of animals at any career stage, whether veterinarians or not are extremely welcome and we look forward to seeing you in Berlin in September!
