Queen's hosts the ESVCN 2024 Congress

17 September, 2024

Queen's University were delighted to host the European Society for Veterinary and Comparative Nutrition (ESVCN) Congress, and the associated activities of the European College of Veterinary and Comparative Nutrition (ECVCN), for 3 days last week.

The Congress was hosted at Riddel Hall and was attended by almost 350 delegates, including 30 delegates from Brazil and 20 from North America. 

 

The Congress theme was ‘Sustainable diets across the food chain’ and was addressed by 5 illustrious speakers who tackled it from the perspective of human, livestock and pet diets, challenging our thinking on the future of food systems. The Congress theme was inspired by the research activities of the Institute for Global Food Security, and we were delighted to see more than 110 papers and 70 posters addressing the topic and resulting in very active discussions!

 

This was the first time the Congress was held on the island of Ireland and its organisation was a collaboration between Queen’s University, University College Dublin and Teagasc. Congratulations to our colleague Professor Ilias Kyriazakis, an ECVCN Specialist himself,  for bringing the Congress to Belfast and for leading the Local Organising Committee, whose efforts resulted in such a spectacular event. The Congress culminated in a very entertaining celebration of Irish dancing and music that continued very late into the night! 

 

Professor Archie Clements, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (PVC) for Research and Enterprise, welcomed delegates at the Congress icebreaker held in the Great Hall and commented that "this was an excellent opportunity to profile Queen’s work in an area that is central to our national reputation".
