Databases in Veterinary Medicine – Validation, harmonisation and application
The objective with the Symposium is to provide an overview of the most important databases on animal diseases in the Nordic countries. Plenary sessions will focus on the possibility of using the databases for different purposes such as animal welfare, food safety and animal health economics. Especially, there will be focus on how we, in the future, can make databases more transparent, by establishing database protocols to share among users of the databases. In addition, the possibilities of harmonisation of databases will be presented. Finally workshops will provide the opportunity to exchange knowledge and best practices on some of the issues.
