The VETUNI Emergency Committee condemned the tragedy of the armed attack at the Faculty of Arts of Charles University, expressed condolences to the family members of the victims, analysed possible dangers to the University of Veterinary Sciences Brno, and evaluated the positions of other universities, the Ministry of Education Youth and Sports and the Czech Rectors Conference. The VETUNI Emergency Committee took immediate measures to strengthen security at the university.

For the education of veterinary students, the management of the University of Veterinary Sciences Brno has built representative premises of two new simulation centres for clinical teaching focused on individual animal species. These modern facilities, which will be used for teaching veterinary medicine at VETUNI, comprise both the new dominant building of the Small Animal Pavilion with the Dog and Cat Clinic and the reconstructed learning spaces in the complex of the Equine Clinic. As the Rector of the University, Prof. MVDr. Alois Nečas, Ph.D., MBA, said: "In the upcoming academic year 2023/2024, our students can look forward to modern forms of teaching enriching the study of clinical subjects in the new classrooms of the simulation centres, where the existing clinical teaching on artificial animal models will be relocated, bringing students closer to addressing and solving real clinical cases and situations they may encounter with living patients. The new simulation centres at VETUNI will bear comparison with the top teaching centres at the best veterinary universities and colleges in Europe. These learning centres will open at the University in early September."

This week, the University of the Third Age (U3V) at the Brno Veterinary University launched the Animal Welfare and Protection course.

We are happy to inform you that the VetNEST Summer School is scheduled to be held on 28 – 30 September 2021. Because we want to continue the contribution to the teaching on animal welfare, veterinary ethics and law, and having in mind the safety of participants during the pandemic with Covid-19, the Summer School is coming back this year as an ONLINE EVENT. Hopefully, we would be able to return to our normal and regular practice of organizing the summer school in person from next year. For now, please scroll down for preview information of the upcoming VetNEST Summer School 2021.
