History

The ESVE was established in 2001. The inaugural meeting of the ESVE was held at the 11th ESVIM annual congress in Dublin, Ireland in September 2001. Since this time, the Society has gone from strength to strength, largely because of the contribution of many enthusiastic and committed members, and the kind support of our two main sponsors, MSD and DECHRA.
