The 170th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science【Iwate Prefecture】
The 170th Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science will take place September 15–18, 2027, at Iwate University in Iwate Prefecture, Japan. Organized by the Japanese Society of Veterinary Science (JSVS), the meeting will be chaired by Dr. Hiroshi Satoh of Iwate University. Its related scientific fields range from fundamental research to clinical applications, including animal disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment, veterinary pathology, infectious diseases, pharmacology, toxicology and veterinary pharmaceuticals. The meeting is also relevant to One Health, an integrated approach to human, animal and environmental health.
Meeting Theme and Objectives
The Japanese Society of Veterinary Science is a scientific organization dedicated to advancing veterinary research and contributing to society through academic and scientific progress. Its annual meeting provides a forum for researchers and veterinarians working in basic research on animal health and disease, clinical veterinary medicine, public health, livestock production and animal welfare to exchange scientific knowledge.
Veterinary research extends beyond companion animal and livestock care to include zoonotic diseases, food safety, and the evaluation of pharmaceutical efficacy and safety. As of November 13, 2026, the official theme and meeting chair’s message for the 170th annual meeting have not been confirmed.
