Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the European Association for Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology (EAVPT), we are delighted to invite you to the EAVPT 2026 Congress, taking place from June 28 to July 1, 2026, in the vibrant city of Thessaloniki, Greece. Centered on the theme "Building Our Foundations, Shaping the Future", the congress will be a landmark gathering of researchers, clinicians, industry leaders, educators, and students, dedicated to advancing veterinary pharmacology and toxicology through innovation, collaboration, and visionary science.
A Cutting-Edge Scientific Program
The EAVPT 2026 Congress is dedicated to showcasing cutting-edge developments in veterinary science, with a particular emphasis on transformative technologies and emerging trends in veterinary therapeutics. The program will further cover a broad range of topics, spanning fundamental and applied research in pharmacology, toxicology, and all areas of clinical pharmacology.
The program features a dynamic lineup of innovative sessions, including:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Veterinary Medicine
To explore transformative impact of AI on diagnostics, treatment planning, and therapeutic management, delivering unprecedented precision and efficiency in veterinary care. - Next-Generation Therapeutics: Gene and Cell Therapies
To showcase pioneering developments in gene and cell-based therapies, opening new frontiers for treating both companion and livestock animals. - Innovative Alternatives to Live Animal Testing
To discuss how state-of-the-art approaches - including in vitro models, in silico simulations, and population PK/PD studies - may replace live animal testing in preclinical efficacy and safety assessments. - Core Areas in Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology
Topics include genetic influences on drug response, strategies for monitoring and optimizing therapy, drug resistance, global health and emerging infectious threats, environmental impacts on animal health, and innovative biomarkers for safety and efficacy assessment.
Fostering Industry-Academia Collaboration
A key highlight of EAVPT 2026 is our special plenary session, Developing Innovation in the Veterinary Industry. This session will focus on critical challenges faced in veterinary medicine and examine how academic–industry partnerships can drive transformative solutions. Featuring compelling case studies and a dynamic panel discussion, the session will spotlight successful case studies that bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and practical application. It offers a unique opportunity for industry leaders, academic researchers, regulatory agencies and innovators to connect, collaborate, and help shape the future of veterinary science.
Thessaloniki: A Historic and Vibrant Host City
Thessaloniki, Greece’s vibrant second city, is a captivating blend of ancient heritage and modern energy. Nestled along the Aegean Sea, it boasts a rich tapestry of history shaped by Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman influences, evident in its UNESCO-listed monuments, historic churches, and lively markets. Beyond its cultural treasures, Thessaloniki is renowned for its welcoming atmosphere, dynamic arts scene, and exceptional cuisine rooted in Mediterranean tradition.
