The FAUNA - Nucleus of Exotic, Wild and Wild Species of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Lisbon is pleased to announce the 13th International Conference, which will take place on 4, 5 and 6 April 2025.

The event is aimed to students and professionals in the areas of Veterinary Medicine and Nursing, Biology, Zootechnical Engineering and Environmental Sciences, as well as anyone interested in the topics covered.

The conference will feature three days of lectures, workshops, round tables and interactive coffee breaks, organised around different themes:

• New Companion Animal Clinic

• Wild Animal, Aquarium and Zoo Medicine

There will be renowned international speakers such as Friederike Pohlin, Pablo Morón Elorza, Tony Nevin, María Casero, Teresa Lobo Fernandes, Rui Patrício, among others.

In addition to the talks, there will be a hotspot area, a space dedicated to interaction between participants and emerging organisations that work daily in wildlife conservation and environmental protection.

The field of Exotic and Wild Animal Medicine is constantly growing and represents an essential field for the preservation of biodiversity.
