The 15th International Symposium of Veterinary Epidemiology and Economics (ISVEE 15) is coming to Chiang Mai, Thailand, on 12 - 16 November 2018. As in previous symposiums, ISVEE 15 will be a global forum for interdisciplinary collaboration and communication among graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, practitioners, junior and senior researchers, as well as policymakers, health, veterinary public health, social science, and animal health economic professionals, to learn and share with a vision of building a better life tomorrow for veterinary epidemiology at the local, regional, and international levels.

To achieve this shared vision, we will be inviting well-known keynote speakers to share their vision and wisdom in the areas of education, animal health and production, technology, research and public policy – presenting innovations that can be applied to our common goal of solving today’s burning issues in veterinary epidemiology and economics. Your research and studies are welcome to be shared at ISVEE 15.

Thailand’s northern capital Chiang Mai will be a wonderful site for the symposium: a calm and relaxing alternative to the whirlwind pace of life in Bangkok, it is the ideal environment in which to focus on becoming more knowledgeable, and more active, protagonists in the pursuit of solutions to the problems affecting human and animal populations in these times of great change.

It is our pleasure to send you the SAVE the DATE of the upcoming ISVEE 15, on 12-16 November 2018.

We are looking forward to seeing you all in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
