Conference

AITVM International conferences

The 3-yearly organisation of an international conference on animal health and production in the tropics is the main activity of the AITVM. The emphasis has always been on an integrated approach of bringing together animal health and animal production specialists, as well as junior scientists from the North and the South. The conference venue alternates between the continents Africa, Asia and Europe.

‘Dik Zwart Award’

The ‘Dik Zwart Award’ is an award for the best presentation and for the best poster by a young scientist. The award includes an award certificate and a sum of money to stimulate research activities. The first awards were handed out by the AITVM President at the  12th AITVM Conference in 2007 in Montpellier, France.
