Hip Hip Hooray!

In 2025, we celebrate 250 years of veterinary medicine in Sweden. Throughout the year, we will highlight the veterinary profession, education, research, and the field by looking back at history, analysing the present, and shaping the future.

The anniversary will be celebrated in many different ways – through various events, lectures, and discussions, among other things. Together with our partners, we want to spread knowledge and engagement about the importance of veterinary medicine for animals, people, and society. Join us on this anniversary journey and celebrate 250 years of development and innovation!

Welcome to celebrate with us!

More information about the events and activities throughout the year can be found on our Swedish website.
