 Conference Overview and
Reviews
Med-Vet-Net held its 3rd Annual Scientifc Meeting at the end of June,
near Pisa.
The conference, organized in close co-operation
with the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS), Rome, was held in a secluded
location in Tuscany; the freshness of the mountains conducive to work and
contemplation. More than 200 participants, the majority from Med-Vet-Net
Partner Institutes, found themselves, like the previous meeting in Malta,
attending a conference which has really found its identity. Also among the
delegates were a number of non-Europeans.
