Scheduled to take place in March last year to coincide with the centenary of the First Course for Doctors, but suspended at the last minute because of the pandemic, the first conference on anthroposophical veterinary medicine finally took place in September at the Goetheanum in Switzerland.

The first meetings for veterinarians, following the founding of the international coordination in 2017, were organized during the annual international conferences of the Medical Section, but subsequently a further in-depth impetus was given to create a meeting opportunity for all veterinarians around the world dedicated to the study and practice of veterinary medicine, according to the teachings and methodology of Rudolf Steiner.

Despite the well-known logistical difficulties in attending, colleagues from Argentina, Brazil, the United States of America, Ukraine and, of course, Europe attended, all this conference.
