Forums: 

THE 13th CONFERENCE of the International Society for Veterinary Epidemiology and Economics (ISVEE XIII) will be held from 20 - 24 August 2012 in the city of Maastricht, close to the border of the Netherlands and Belgium. During this conference you will cross the borders to other scientific disciplines, focussing on the bridges that connect them with veterinary epidemiology and economics to create the multi disciplinary approach needed to solve many of today's research questions. If you participate in a pre- or post conference workshop you will cross the border between The Netherlands and Belgium as well to visit the beautiful city of Ghent. Both Maastricht en Ghent have a long and colourful history enabling you to taste the rich culture of the lowlands situated in the center of Europe.
