Dear Colleagues                                                               March 2018

The ECVP/ESVP Education Committee is now organising the Summer School 2018 which
will take place in Alfara del Patriarca, Valencia, Spain, from Monday 16th July to Friday 27th
July 2018.

Valencia is Spain's third largest metropolitan area. It was founded as a Roman colony by the
consul Decimus Junius Brutus Callaicus in 138 BC and called Valentia Edetanorum. In 714
Moroccan and Arab Moors occupied the city, introducing their language, religion and
customs, being capital of the Taifa of Valencia. In 1238 the Christian king James I of Aragon
reconquered the city and created a new law for the city, the Furs of Valencia, which were
extended to the rest of the Kingdom of Valencia. In the 18th century Philip V of Spain
abolished the privileges as punishment to the kingdom of Valencia for aligning with the
Habsburg side in the War of the Spanish Succession. Valencia was the capital of Spain
when Joseph Bonaparte moved the Court there in the summer of 1812. It also served as
capital between 1936 and 1937, during the Second Spanish Republic. The city is situated on
the east coast of the Iberian Peninsula, fronting the Gulf of Valencia on the Mediterranean
Sea. Its historic centre is one of the largest in Spain and this heritage of ancient monuments,
views and cultural attractions make Valencia one of the country's most popular tourist
destinations.

Alfara del Patriarca is a small town located 10 km far away from Valencia and is where is
situated the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine (University CEU Cardenal Herrera).

The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of University CEU Cardenal Herrera has been training
professionals in the field of Veterinary for more than 20 years and has recently obtained the
Full Accreditation by the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education.

Registration
Places at the Summer School 2018 are available on a first come, first serve basis. We would
now like to invite you to register for the event.
The Summer School is organised under the financial responsibility of the ECVP and ESVP.
We are very keen on maintaining it as a low-cost event and are making every effort to keep
the cost for the attendees as low as possible.

A reduced registration fee is offered to those trainees who are also ESVP members. To
become an ESVP member, please visit their website:

http://www.esvp.eu/organization/membership-and-annual-fees and complete the relevant
forms. If you have difficulties obtaining an ESVP member to nominate you, please contact
the ECVP Office direct for assistance.

Registration fees

Trainees in Veterinary Pathology/ESVP Members:             € 400
Non-ESVP members:                                          € 650

Registration fees will allow you to participate in lectures and practical classes. All lecture
information will be put on a password protected section on the ECVP website for
downloading prior/during the Summer School.

Attendance of selected sessions may be possible and the costs for participation will be
calculated at €100 per day.

Upon completion of registration, we will ask all registered participants to transfer the
registration fee which will then confirm their place.

Financial support
A maximum number of 10 stipends covering the registration fees will be available to
participants at an early stage of their career as a pathologist whose financial circumstances
make it difficult to attend the event without further financial support. Again, ESVP
membership or confirmed application for membership is a requirement for eligibility. The
deadline for stipend applications is Friday 6th April 2018 but please ensure that you register
first.
Registration for the Summer School 2017 is being handled by our administrative assistant,
Irini Thanou in the ECVP Office (admin). Registration forms should be sent by email
(preferably) or surface mail to the ECVP/ESVP Education Committee at the address in ECVP
Office (attention: Irini Thanou) by Friday 13th April 2018.
We look forward to meeting you in Valencia.
Yours sincerely
