Why join as a student?
The 9th EWDA conference will be a unique opportunity to increase your knowledge on wildlife health, domestic animal health and public health. It is a fantastic chance to meet students and more experienced researchers with the same interests in the enjoyable and beautiful environment of Vlieland. The conference will give you the opportunity to meet people of many different disciplines, from public health professionals and wildlife disease experts to ecologists and epidemiologists- all easily accessible in a relaxed atmosphere.
Special student activities
