The meeting of the Baltic universities of veterinary medicine held at the Estonian University of Life Sciences brought together the leaders of the field and academics from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It was two days full of inspiration, collaboration and professional discussions aimed at promoting veterinary medicine education and research in the Baltics.

Highlights of the match:

The meeting started with a warm-up gathering at Zoomedicum, where participants were offered coffee and an opportunity to get to know the university and clinics. In the evening, we headed to the Kure guest house on the outskirts of Tartu, which offered a pleasant atmosphere and the opportunity to chat with colleagues in a less formal atmosphere. The day ended with a memorable dinner at Hansa Tall, where laughter and exciting discussions filled the air.

The next day, the participants were treated to an educational day, where several important presentations and workshops took place. Toomas Tiirats, Kaspars Kovalenko and Rasa Adomkienė shared the latest news and developments about veterinary education and student admission. A special event was the opening of the Eižens Zemmers bas-relief in the gallery, which was celebrated with champagne and coffee.

The second half of the day offered a varied program, including lunch, a boat trip on Emajõ, and a tour of the Lodjakoja, where participants could enjoy games and a light meal. The evening ended with a celebratory dinner and entertainment in the Lodjakoja, which further cemented inter-university ties and cooperation plans.

The meeting was an excellent example of how international cooperation and knowledge sharing can advance the field and offer new perspectives. Participants left the event inspired and motivated to continue their work to advance veterinary medicine.

See you next time!
