About the Webinar
The International Veterinary Vaccinology Network (IVVN) is pleased to host a webinar in collaboration with the REPRODIVAC project - a Horizon Europe-funded initiative focused on developing innovative vaccines and diagnostics to tackle endemic and zoonotic reproductive pathogens in livestock. The project aims to improve animal health and welfare, reduce antimicrobial use, and promote a sustainable livestock sector through a One Health approach.
Join leading researchers as they present REPRODIVAC’s overarching goals, scientific approach, and case studies on key pathogens. This session offers a unique opportunity to hear directly from scientists developing novel solutions to reproductive diseases in pigs, cattle, and small ruminants - and to explore their broader implications for animal health, productivity, and public health.
