European Congress of Veterinary Pathology

The joint European Congress of Veterinary Pathology and Clinical Pathology brings together the European Society of Veterinary Pathology, the European College of Veterinary Pathologists, the European Society of Veterinary Clinical Pathology, and the European College of Veterinary Clinical Pathology. The event runs from September 16–19, 2026, in Nantes, France.

This gathering unites veterinary pathologists and clinical pathologists to address shared diagnostic challenges at the intersection of morphology, biological data, and clinical findings. The congress recognizes that integrated approaches and cross-disciplinary collaboration strengthen diagnostics, drive innovation, and advance the field. Participants include members of both societies and colleges, as well as colleagues working in diagnostic and research pathology.

The scientific program features state-of-the-art joint sessions, keynote presentations, educational talks, and hands-on workshops designed to highlight synergies between veterinary pathology and clinical pathology. Beyond formal sessions, the congress emphasizes networking opportunities, collaborative discussions, and case-based learning that benefit the broader pathology community.

Nantes, situated along the Loire River, provides a dynamic setting combining historical architecture with modern research infrastructure. The city’s biomedical community, university presence, cultural amenities, and accessibility across Europe create an inviting environment for this scientific meeting.
