Vetscience international

Diversity broadens your view
In line with our slogan “sharing science, shaping tomorrow”, we hope that this edition of Vetscience international engages you in what we are doing in Utrecht and creates new sparks for possible future teamwork. This magazine is full of interviews with great researchers and teachers who have made significant achievements for our faculty. Behind all these people are teams because impactful performance usually comes from collaboration.
