2025 Summer School - Carnivores

 

The 2025 EAZWV Student Summer School was held in Zooparc de Beauval, France. The focus of this summer school was on carnivores, featuring a dynamic program of lectures and wet labs. The speakers and the local Beauval veterinary team provided a diverse program covering carnivore nutrition (Marcus Clauss), dentistry in felids (Philippe Hennet), feline reproduction (Imke Lüders), zoo carnivore pathology (Rozen Le Net), and carnivore husbandry (Alexis Lecu).

2024 Summer Workshop - Zoo & Wildlife Immobilisation

 

In the 2024 EAZWV Student Summer Workshop, students got to practise their skills on zoo & wildlife immobilisation! The Summer Workshop was held in Naturschutz-Tierpark Görlitz, Germany, during August 22nd – 24th. We had 15 highly motivated students preparing presentations on realistic cases, and three professionals to guide them with personalized feedback. We discussed topics including pharmacology, non-chemical immobilization, monitoring, tele-immobilisation, emergencies, and so much more. During the evenings we had fun events planned and visited the yearly Altstadtfest, which is quite famous in the area. All-in-all, the 2024 EAZWV Summer Workshop was an event that we can look back on with pride, and we’re very grateful to everyone who helped make it reality! We received great feedback on the workshop - read here for the take from some of the attendees.

2023 Summer School on Aquatic Animal Medicine

 

 

We're looking back on an exciting week full of lectures, workshops, zoo visits and networking with all of these incredibly motivated student members! The 2023 EAZWV Summer Workshop was held in Artis Royal Zoo, Amsterdam, during August 21st – 25th, and revolved around aquatic animal medicine. We're thankful to have had 14 fantastic professionals on board, teaching us, the 25 participants, all about the husbandry, conservation, medicine, pathology and many other topics related to aquatic animal medicine. We even made a day-trip to Utrecht University for wetlabs! Moreover, students got the chance to work on themselves through career focused workshops. All-in-all, the 2023 EAZWV Summer Workshop was an event to look back on, and we’re extending our gratitude to everyone who helped along the way!
