The congress will be held at Estonian University of Life Sciences. The University's history dates to 1848, when the Tartu Veterinary School was established, kicking off Estonia's strong academic legacy in veterinary medicine, agriculture, and environmental sciences. The university focuses on the interplay between agriculture, forestry, environment, veterinary medicine, engineering, and technology. It ranks among the world’s top 100 in agriculture and forestry and in the top 1% for citations in plant, animal, and environmental sciences. The university's campus is located on the edge of Tartu where the main university buildings are located. The campus is located about 20 minutes walking distance from the town square (Raekoja plats).
The conference will be held in the university main building and on the second floor of building. The Icebreaker will be in the same location (F. R. Kreutzwaldi tn 1a, Tartu).
