Preliminary Program
The summer school 2018 will start on July 3th 2018 with the fine tradition of a “Get together” in the evening. We like to invite you to Bavarian food and beverages (Don’t worry, you don’t need “Dirndls” or “Lederhosen”.) at the Clinic for Ruminants.
After two days of lectures and discussions on July 5th 2018 we will head to Hellabrunn, the zoo in Munich, to hear something about reproduction in zoo animals and how to deal with these cases as a zoo vet. We are glad to announce that the zoo vet will also give us a tour through the zoo. After that we will have dinner near Hellabrunn.
On July 6th we plan to offer hands-on workshops. It is planned that every participant can choose two workshops. You will find more information about that in January on the ECAR homepage.
For more information about the preliminary program see table below.
