Having realised under very unfortunate circumstances that decreasing our activities can have a very positive environmental impact, we are now faced with the challenge to turn a devastating experience into an opportunity!
Following the postponement of the International Conference of the European College of Veterinary Microbiology (ICECVM) in Bari, Italy due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are now pleased to announce that the 2nd ICECVM will take place in the form of a webinar.
From the comfort and safety of your home, at only a fraction of the cost and without the usual time pressures, you will be able to attend an international scientific event, taking advantage of user-friendly web conference technology. Posters and oral presentations delivered by young scientists, established scholars and world-leading experts will keep you up to date with cutting edge technologies and recent discoveries in Veterinary Microbiology.
So, do not miss out on this opportunity to register for the 2nd ICECVM and to follow the exciting developments in a field of science, which paves the way into a safer future!

He is a Member of the European Society of Mycobacteriology, International Association for Paratuberculosis, International Society for Infectious Diseases and Slovenian Microbiological Society (past-President) and a Board Member of the European College of Veterinary Microbiology.
Dorina Timofte
Dorina Timofte (DVM, PhD) is a tenured Senior Lecturer in Veterinary Clinical Microbiology in the Liverpool University School of Veterinary Science where she leads the Veterinary Microbiology Laboratory and is Chair of the Biosecurity and infection Control Committee.
Dorina is a Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Microbiology (ECVM) and has established a Veterinary microbiology Residency Training programme at Liverpool. She is also involved in several European collaborations which are aiming to improve veterinary diagnostics and optimise veterinary antimicrobial use. She is a member of the Executive Committee of the European Study Group of Veterinary Microbiology (within the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases). In addition, she is part of the Management Committee of the European Network for Optimization of Veterinary Antimicrobial Treatment (ENOVAT) where she is leading a working group aiming to provide harmonisation of microbiological diagnostic procedures within veterinary laboratories in Europe. Her research focuses on the surveillance and molecular epidemiology of multidrug-resistant pathogens in clinical and environmental bacteria, particularly in companion animals and veterinary hospital environments, as well as rapid diagnosis of infections and rapid susceptibility testing.
