Welcome to Dubrovnik and Croatia
On behalf of the Croatian Organising Committee, we are pleased to invite you to attend the
69th Annual Meeting of the European Federation of Animal Science (EAAP). The meeting will be
held in the Valamar Resort in Dubrovnik, one of the most prominent tourist destinations in the
Mediterranean, from 27th to 31st August 2018.
For decades, the Annual Meeting has hosted scientists and experts from the field of animal science,
not only from Europe but also from other countries around the globe. The EAAP Congress provides
insights into the latest research results from many areas of animal science. It is a unique opportunity
for industry and scientists to meet and acquire new knowledge as well as to exchange experience.
Carried out through many sessions, presentations and discussions about scientific achievements
in the European and world livestock production are also an opportunity for the application of new
ideas in practice. Furthermore, there will be a focus on international research collaboration and
knowledge exchange towards innovation. All these preferences make the EAAP one of the largest
animal science congresses in the world – we expect approximately 1000 participants from more
than 50 countries.
The main topic of the congress is ’Conventional and traditional livestock production systems –
new challenges’ and it includes sustainability, animal welfare, agroecology and product quality.
The programme contains various disciplines and the latest findings regarding farm animals such
as genetics, nutrition, management, health, welfare and physiology of cattle, sheep, goats, pigs,
horses, poultry and fur animals, as well as the use of insects for feed and precision livestock farming..
We are delegated to invite you to participate in the 69th Annual Meeting of EAAP which focuses
on translating research into animal production practice.

The Association
EAAP (The European Federation of Animal Science) organises every year an international meeting
which attracts between 900 and 1500 people. The main aims of EAAP are to promote, by means
of active co-operation between its members and other relevant international and national
organisations, the advancement of scientific research, sustainable development and systems of
production; experimentation, application and extension; to improve the technical and economic
conditions of the livestock sector; to promote the welfare of farm animals and the conservation of
the rural environment; to control and optimise the use of natural resources in general and animal
genetic resources in particular; to encourage the involvement of young scientists and technicians.

What is the YoungEAAP?
YoungEAAP is a group of young scientists organized under the EAAP umbrella. It aims to create
a platform where scientists during their early career get the opportunity to meet and share their
experiences, expectations and aspirations. This is done through activities at the Annual EAAP
Meetings and social media. The large constituency and diversity of the EAAP member countries,
commissions and delegates create a very important platform to stay up-to-date, close the gap
between our training and the future employer expectations, while fine-tuning our skills and
providing young scientists applied and industry-relevant research ideas.
YoungEAAP promotes Young and Early Career Scientists to:
• Stay up-to-date (i.e. EAAP activities, social media);
• Close the gap between our training and the future employer expectations;
• Fine-tune our skills through EAAP meetings, expand the special young scientists’ sessions, and/
or start online webinars/trainings with industry and academic leaders;
• Meet to network and share our graduate school or early employment experiences;
• Develop research ideas, projects and proposals.
Committee Members at a glace
• Dr. Christian Lambertz (President)
• Dr. Anamarija Smetko (Secretary)
• MSc Torun Wallgren (Secretary)
Who can be a Member of Young EAAP?
All individual members of EAAP can join the YoungEAAP if they meet one of the following criteria:
Researchers under 35 years of age OR within 10 years after PhD-graduation
