ICC Sydney, Australia
EPIC scientists will be speaking and presenting posters on their latest work at the International Symposium on Veterinary Epidemiology and Economics: ISVEE17 Conference. The veterinary epidemiology and economics community of Australia and New Zealand has a long history of contribution, and remains a global powerhouse of the discipline. From the first ISVEE held in Australia in 1979, this emerging discipline quickly found fertile soil in the region, flowering to become a foundation of teaching and research, guiding policy formulation and decision-making, and contributing to the improvement of our society.
