Reports from grantees 2023
Dear ESVD board members and grant donors,
I recently had the chance to participate to the 34th Cogress of Veterinary Dermatology in Gothenburg, Sweden and I want to thank you so much for giving me this opportunity by awarding me the travel grant. It was a great honour for me to listen to renowned experts and researchers in the field from all corners of the globe.
The event was very well organised and the location chosen was very inspiring and I’m so happy that I had the chance to explore Gothenburg as I am an enthusiast for Scandinavian countries.
I enjoyed the diversity of the topics and all the knowledge I gained during the lectures helped me improve my dermatological skills regarding diagnostic techniques and treatment protocols.
Networking was another valuable aspect of the congress. Meeting fellow veterinarians and researchers who share a passion for dermatology was both inspiring and informative. I also had the chance to meet some of the board members of the ESVD - ECVD Congress and they were very kind and friendly which made me feel included.
I wish to express, once again, my sincere gratitude for the travel grant, which made my participation in this remarkable event possible and I hope to see you next year in Bilbao, Spain.

Dear ESVD Board Members and Grant Donors !
I am grateful to the ESVD for granting me a scholarship and giving me an opportunity to attend the 34th ESVD-ECVD congress at Gothenburg. It was my first experience to attend ESVD congress and had an opportunity to interact with renowned dermatologists from all over the world. The topics in congress were such that we come across in our day to day practice.The experts gave me certain pointers to handle these cases. I also got insights to handle uncommon and unique dermatology cases. The congress was nicely organised with aspects of location as well as it was very convenient to travel. I am very glad that I attended this congress and I hope to attend the ESVD congress in future.
Once again thank you for the grant!

My Experience in Dermatology congress , Gothenburg, Sweden
After my last year experience in Dermatology congress in Porto I have decided to attend the congres in Sweden as well. For me, Dermatology congress in Sweden was very nice experience because I did not only gain new knowledge in variety of dermatology topics but it was the opportunity to meet my friends from abroad , to meet new people with the same interrest for dermatology as me. I visited Sweden ,and generally The Scandinavia, for the first time so It was very interresting to me to see new country , new culture , food habits and other nice things. Gothenburg was a good choice of place for the congress and to attend the welcome reception and dinner dance brought me other new experience . If I am able to attend the congress of dermatology next time , I will certainly try to come and join you again.
I feel very thankful for this opportunity and for the grant you provided me .

First of all, I would like to thank to the all board members of ESVD and grant donors and an incredibly open and sincere persons whom we were met! I had a unique opportunity to attend 34thEuropean Veterinary Dermatology Congress, listen to lectures by leading experts. Once again I want to say a big thank you for support Ukrainian veterinarian, for helping to realize this huge opportunity – to be present on this inspiring great congress! There was a lot of new information and practical approaches to diagnosis and treatment of otitis media and interna, facial pruritus in cats and different viral skin infections, deep fungus infections in dogs and of course – our everyday – atopic dermatitis. In my opinion the cytology quiz and clinicopatologic conference were very interesting and useful! All the information and inspiration I received at the congress will help both my patients directly and Ukrainian veterinary dermatology as a whole - because they will definitely be spread by me among my colleagues!
Thanks a lot one more time!

I am very grateful ESVD for this opportunity to attend the Dermatology Сongress in Porto. Without the travel grant, this wouldn’t have been possible, especially during the war in my country. I received a lot of useful information, which I use both in my practical work, and I will share it with my colleagues in Ukraine, using it in my lectures. Particularly useful for me were lecture D.Ferreira about possibilities of preventing atopic dermatitis, lecture M. Cadiergues about Photodermatoses and Solar dermatosis from C.Noli, Sterile neutrophilic dermatoses by C.Nelson. I was interested to learn about the use of laser, cryodestruction and the surgical approach in general for the treatment of dermatological diseases from lecturers D.Duclos, M.Mascarenhas, J.Kaczmarek. No less interesting were the presented clinical cases, the latest updates on commonly used drugs such as oclacitinib. And special thanks to the ESVD for the opportunity to speak publicly about the war in Ukraine.

Dear travel grant donors, sponsors and ESVD board members, First of all I want to thank to all of the people who have offered me the possibility to participate at the 33rd European Veterinary dermatology congress through the travel grant, and making possible to get me in touch with great lectures, listening to some of the best speakers in the field and also keeping me up to date with the latest news in the veterinary dermatology. For me personally this was my first participation in such a great event since I started practicing veterinary dermatology two years ago, and it meant a lot to me being at the beginning of the journey. Personally I was most pleased about the lectures in the practical programme which helped me to stabilise and carify some diagnostic and treatment protocols and I will apply all the information gained during the congress to all my dermatology patiens. I’m also very grateful that the organisers have also provided us short-comunications which were very helpful containing information I can apply in my current practice. In addition to the quality information, competence and exceptional experience of the speakers, I truly appreciated the organisation of the congress, the social events during the welcome reception, and the opportunity I had to socialize with veterinarians all over the world and gaining new insights of the veterinary profession. I also grateful that I meet some of the ESVD members, and in addition to their kindeness, provided us valuable information about new learning opportunities. Kind regards from Romania and I’m looking forward to meeting you again in Sweden!

I want to write my impressions from the congress. These were incredible three days of new knowledge, new interesting acquaintances.A separate gratitude for the city where the congress and the magnificent congress center took place. It was incredibly good.
The organization of a wonderful congress from beginning to end. A wonderful organization, thought out every stage of the European veterinary dermatology congress.European veterinary dermatology congress had three programs: practical, advanced and cutting edge. So, every veterinary dermatologist found a necessary topic for himself.
I spent more time on practical program. But I tried to find time for other programs.
Personally, I like best topics of Feline Atopic Syndrome A.Oliveira; To cut, suture and excise on your own J. Kaczmarek; Dermatologic conditions Where CO2 Laser is invaluables D. Duclos.I will look at the presentations of lecturers in the vFairs. It is very convenient for learning.Thank you dear colleagues for the incredible support of veterinarians of Ukraine. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the congress. Thank you very much for your support of Ukraine. Unfortunately, this is what Ukrainians need now. Thank you very much.
Kind regards, Kateryna Kuznetsova
It's been two weeks since the congress, and it feels like yesterday... It was unforgettable!
I would like to say thank you very much for the opportunity to attend the event and for the powerful support for Ukrainian doctors in these difficult times.
Everything was perfectly organized and thought out to the last detail, from the structuring of the information and schedule to the food and entertainment. The lecturers at whose presentations I attended were excellent, and the presentations were succinct and accessible.
Of course there was the joy of meeting colleagues, especially after COVID.
I hope that no external circumstances will interfere with ESVD 2023. And there will be such a wonderful celebration and meeting!
Anna Polumysnaya
Dear ESVD-ECVD board members, sponsors and colleagues, I want to thank everyone for a wonderful event, both practical, scientific and social. This 33rd European Congress of Veterinary Dermatology in Porto, Portugal will be memorable as the first of its kind and certainly, I hope, not the last.
After receiving travel grant, I was able to finally attend a dermatology congress, I finally met professionals whose work and articles I rely on in my dermatological journey. It is still hard to believe that it was real, after the Covid-19 and lockdown, after all the webinars, during this bloody war next to us, such a trip enriches not only in the sense of science, but also gives inspiration and refresh the minds. The atmosphere was utterly charming.
The most difficult part was choosing which lecture to go to, many times I wanted to be in two different auditoriums at the same time. In addition to all this, it was unreal to meet the greats of veterinary dermatology, to see those people whose names and surnames I know very well from their publications, seminars, who are the ones who lead veterinary dermatology into the future. A special moment was attending a lecture with Emeritus Richard E. W. Halliwell.
At the congress, I not only met familiar colleagues from different European countries, but also made new acquaintances. I sincerely thank everyone, and if someone is reading who has not yet participated in such an event, I recommend it, you will not regret it for a second. I hope that the next such experience will be at the next congress, which will take place in a peaceful Europe, without war or other crisis.
With best wishes from Lithuania,

Dear ESVD board members and grant donators
Receiving a travel fellowship grant for the 33rd ESVD - ECVD Congress in Porto, Portugal, in 2022 is a great honor and privilege for me. Attending the international conference in European nation is fulfilling my dream. That’s pretty incredible experience for me. The various topics, that lecture by famous speakers, were interesting and useful for practitioner in veterinary dermatology. I’ve met veterinarians and specialist who interested in dermatology and willing to share their experiences. Learning from their aspect and knowledges will improve my dermatology skills. I’ll share updating useful information to other veterinary students in Thailand. Many products were presented in the exhibition hall by the hospitality staffs. This congress not only helps vet dermatologists to connect with each other, but also an opportunity to travel in Porto, one of the most beautiful city in the world. Portuguese people are lovely, friendly and welcoming. I really appreciated for your support to organize this congress, and I look forward to participating once more in the next year.
Sincerely yours,

Dear all from ESVD,
Reports from grantees 2019
Dear ESVD Board members, dear Travel Grant donators and dear Colleagues,
it is with great honor and joy that I write you to express my gratitude for receiving the 2019 Travel Grant for attending the 31st European Veterinary Dermatology Congress in Liverpool, UK. Even before my graduation I dreamed of attending my first International Veterinary Dermatology Congress and your kind gesture of awarding me the Travel Grant was the reason I was able to fulfil this dream. I was, therefore, able to attend high level-advanced sessions presented by respected in the field of dermatology speakers, something that is of outmost importance for someone who wants to pursue a further specialization in this field. Meeting people who share my interest, collecting experiences and valuable knowledge for the future are some of the things that the Travel Grant award made possible as well. This Congress was a great motivation to set more goals in the field of dermatology and gave me one more “broad spectrum” picture, of how fascinating dermatology research is. Concluding, I would like to reach out to recent graduates and young colleges with interest in dermatology and advise them to also apply for a travel grant in the future. It is a great “boost” for everyone to start their career or to broaden their horizons.
Yours sincerely,
Doulidis Pavlos-Georgios, Greece
I appreciate ESVD for selecting me to offer a travel grant to attend 31st European Veterinary Dermatology congress 2019. Actually , this opportunity to attend a congress, totally based on veterinary dermatology was fruitful for me in different aspects as this was my first veterinary dermatology congress attended during my up to now professional practice.
Some topics I followed under the advance programmes were the most interesting part of this congress for me as it helped me to clarify some doubts in my mind regarding clinical cases related to dermatological issues came across in my practice. Cutting edge programmes improved my research interests in diverse aspects of animal dermatology.
Opportunity for networking with veterinarians who have come from different parts of the world during coffee and lunch break hours also appreciable event in this congress.
Commercial floor provided a chance to update vast range of pharmaceuticals, pet foods used for dermatological complications in animals and the machines made with latest advance technologies for the treatment of varies dermatological complications.
Finally, I thank to ESVD and ECVD board members, Scientific organizing committee, local organizing committee for organizing this event very successfully and also to ESVD for making arrangements to offer travel grants to veterinarians who have less financial facilities to attend this congresses.
Dr. Viranga Jayasundara, Institution: Municipal Council, Dehiwala, Sri Lanka.
First, let me introduce myself. My name is Vera, and I am a veterinarian from Belarus. and in our country we are taught how to treat and scrutinize education is limited only with farm animals only. We do not have any opportunities also have nowhere to get specialization, deeper expertise and to take further training.
I chose dermatology as my specialization for a long time, about 7 years ago. And then I began to attend training courses events in Russia in Ukraine. Also, and the conferences and master classes were held there while, in Belarus there this was nothing about it.
I am very happy that I was able to win the grant and continue my studies.
I really appreciate I`m really liked the division of lectures into various levels of difficulty difficulty levels, into the a practical and theoretical courses. ESVD congress s is a great opportunity to attend lectures of famous veterinarians from whose books I have learned a lot, from whose books I studied.
The congress venue was excellent. Everything was perfect. This congress caused me a lot of emotions and has opened up new possibilities to develop veterinary dermatology in my country.
Many thanks to the board members of ESVD - Luc Beco, Katarina Varjonen, Evgenija Kondrateva for helping me attend this congress.

Dear Travel Grant Sponsors and ESVD Board Members,
Thanks to the travel grant, I have been able to visit the 31st European Veterinary Dermatology Congress in Liverpool. All the lectures were very interesting and I really enjoyed listening to the best veterinary dermatologists in the world. The knowledge will help me in my daily work in the clinic. I was particularly impressed by the lectures on the various possibilities of immunotherapy and its effectiveness. I will introduce such solutions for my patients. I have also learned about the existence of many new skincare products.
The Congress was not only an event that broadened my knowledge but was also a great social event. I met many people associated with dermatology, such acquaintances will be helpful in developing my skills and exchange of views. The Meet & Greet at the Liverpool Catherdral took my breath away. I have never participated in such a wonderfully organized meeting in such a beautiful place.
I look forward to the next congresses!
Julia Kolasa, Poland
The time I spent in Liverpool was exceptional. It is a great honor to be one of the Travel Fellowship Grantee. It gave me the opportunity to visit Liverpool and to attend many interesting lectures and also to meet many new people. The newest information is in my opinion very important in any medicine and this congress gave me much more. I have a new energy to work, I also have a new inspiration but most importantly-new friends. The lectures were very interesting, the speakers were excellent and the conference was great. I would like to mention one person, who is not dermatologist but who has inspired and surprised me a lot. Nick Bacon was the greatest inspiration bringing very clear and important inspiration and also important tips from the surgical point of view.
Thank you ESVD for giving me the chance to be part from 30th annual congress!

Dear ESVD Board Members and Grand Donators! Thank You very much for this great opportunity, that I could have been a participant of the 31th ESVD–ECVD Congress 2019 in Liverpool. I learned a lot from all the lecturers I was able to listen to. I enjoyed the most Dr. Karen Moriello’s Dermatophytosis lectures, and Dr. Vanessa Schmidt’s lecture about skin emergencies. I had the opportunity to talk to other dermatologists from all over the world, and find out that it is a really friendly and helpful community. I’m already using my new knowledge I gained from this conference in my everyday work. I hope I will able to visit the following congresses as well, because it was a very useful three days for me in Liverpool. Also the location was excellent, I enjoyed this beautiful city with it’s spectacular city centre and waterfront. Once again, thank you for this great experience.

only problem I had was choosing wich lecture I would attend...Thanks god there is a complete proceedings book!!
I could be aware of the new protocols of treatment like the use of higher doses of oclacitinib in cats...
The lectures I appreciate the most were " Sterile pyogranulomatous dermatites ", "40 minutes essencial guide to hormonal hair loss and " interpretation of culture and susceptibility testing".
The short communications were really helpfull and dinamic.
Now I can prepare a lecture to brazilians vets with the knowledge I have acquired in Liverpool.

Reports from grantees 2018
These days in Dubrovnik were unforgettable. I have learned from the best. It is impossible to write about every great lecturer (Sonya Bettenay, Ralf Muller, Thierry Olivry and many more) but I have to mention Danny Scott. These lectures were full of energy and inspiration. I will always remember standing ovations and emotions after "My viewpoint on 45 years of evolution in veterinary dermatology". Furthermore my patients are already using my new knowledge. But this congress was not just science. It was a unique atmosphere, new acquaintances and strengthening of earlier dermatological friendships. Thank you for helping me realize my dreams and for being part of the ESVD family. 30th European Veterinary Dermatology Congress did not live up to my expectations - it went far beyond them!

Dear all, I would like to thank very much the ESVD for the travel grant 2018, as it gave me the opportunity to be part of this amazing meeting. It was nice to meet specialists and professors and learn with them the newest information about vet dermatology.Not only that, it was a wonderful opportunity to share experiences with colleagues from different countries. The conference was great, excellent speakers, not to mention the perfect organization. Hoping to attend the meeting next year too. Warm regards and thanks

Dear ESVD Board members and Grant donators!It is a great honor and pleasure to be a 2018 Travel Fellowship Grantee! It gave me opportunity to visit 30th European Veterinary Dermatology Congress in Dubrovnik, what means: I learned a new things, I repeated things that were forgotten and of course, I met old and new friends. Cutaneous oncology, equine and exotic animal dermatology, atopic dermatitis, allergies – so many topics, that sometimes you want to divide in two part to be able to visit them all. Great lecturers present even complicated topics in very easy and understandable way, so afterwards everyone can apply new knowledges in general practice. Perfect- organized social program provide a favorable atmosphere for communication – where else you can come and talk with world famous researches and professors!? So, I would like to advise to all people, who doubt and/ or feel shy: do not wait for better chance! Apply to Travel Grant and make a first step (or continue going deeper) in amazing world of Veterinary Dermatology!

Dear Grant donators and all ESVD members! I would like to say big thanks you for your contribution in education of other doctors who needs it!

I'm sure new knowledges will be useful for my practise, I can feel it already). So also big thanks from my patients, cause all we do is for them! Lecturers and conference was excellent! Great opportunity to meet legends of veterinary dermatology! And organization was also perfect! Warm regards from Russia and thank you again! I hope to meet you again next year!

Dear colleagues from the ESVD, It was an honor for me to be chosen as a Scholarship Granted in the 30th ESVD / ECVD Congress in Dubrovnik so I was able to attend this Congress for the first time from a country so far away as Peru. I also hope there will be many more times for me to attend this amazing Congress. Dubrovnik is a wonderful city and an excellent choice for a great Congress to be done. I´ve learned to much in those three days from the best veterinary dermatologist and also human dermatologist from all over the world and got to much information to come home to Peru to teach to my colleagues and still be able to learn much more from the abstracts of all the presentations, the posters, and also from the exhibitors. The Poken experience was also very interesting, to stay in contact in an easy way with colleagues and exhibitors of all over the world and to keep our info safe and available. All the social events were amazing and also the gastronomy was a pleasure to enjoy. So what I can only say to you dear colleagues from the ESVD is THANK YOU SO MUCH for the opportunity and hope to see you soon, even in Peru where you all got a new friend, if you want to visit anytime to share your knowledge you will always be welcome, or maybe in other places of the world were veterinary dermatology is growing in knowledge and importance, hope to be there with you too.

What a great experience was for me the 30th annual congress of ESVD-ECVD! Dubrovnik is not just one of the most popular touristic destination but also the city with one of the oldest still operating pharmacies in the world and the place where the quarantine was first practiced! To make a parallel with the pharmacies – how the dermatologic services would survive without drugs?! Especially prednisolone?! ☺ And even more important point how organizations like ESVD could make such nice event without the pharmaceutical industries?! It`s a good place to thank all companies and ESVD for your great work and efforts to make us feel and transmit the spirit of this congress. Staying in the drug context I would like to mention one of the Veterinary Dermatology fathers and one of his lectures this year in Dubrovnik namely Danny Scott and Feline Dermatology. The most important sentence when we speak about cutaneous adverse drug reactions is Danny Scott`s maxim: All drugs are guilty until proven innocent! To make a parallel with the new ideas and development – ESVD-ECDV congresses are always the exact place to share all that is coming. Thierry Olivry spoke about anti IgE – chimera. Something promising, another future weapon in the war CAD – veterinary dermatologists. Thank you ESVD for giving me the chance to be part from 30th annual congress!

Dear ESVD Board members and Grant donators! My sincere thanks for the travel grant, as it gave me this wonderful opportunity to visit the 29th ESVD–ECVD Congress 2017 in Lausanne. All lectures were perfect, some topics were especially new to me, such as Erythema multiforme, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis, and Epidermal drug reactions (K. Linder), and Cutaneous adverse events in oncologic patients (L. Ferrer). Thanks to the excellent organization, there was time to communicate with colleagues. It was a great opportunity to get answers to my questions from the best dermatologists in the world, and also Congress gave me an opportunity to find a speakers for the Symposium in Russia.
Anna Gerke
I would like to say thank you for giving me this wonderful opportunity and experience. In ESVD conference, I met many veterinarians, specialists and professors from around the world. It was nice to meet them and have a chance to share some stories about case study. Many speakers talked in various topics and aspects of veterinary dermatology. Most topics in conference pointed in canine atopic dermatitis but atopic eczema in human was included too. It was precious lectures that open new viewpoints of diagnosis and treatments. In particular cutting edge programme, the contents of these lectures were so attractive and interesting. It is incredible to know that some human studies could apply in veterinary fields. Moreover, in oral poster presentations, many young veterinarians and famous professors shared about their research with passion, it’s so impressive to be a participant in that room! Furthermore, I also enjoy commercial exhibition. I got new information about anti-pruritic drugs, commercial testing, diet and various products for atopy. In exhibition booths, all staffs were polite, calm, friendly and willing to provide a lot of information. In addition, they offered a lot of valuable products for testing in pet. In overview, I really love and enjoy this conference. If there is a chance, I would like to participate again. I really recommend ESVD conference, so don’t hesitate to register and join in the next year!!!

Many thanks to the sponsors and ESVD for the opportunity to visit the ESVD-ECVD Annual Congress, 7-9 September 2017 in Lausanne Switzerland. There were a lot of lectures useful for practicing dermatologists, the information of which will help me in my daily work in the clinic. I would especially like to mention lectures of S.White,C.Favrot,E. Mendoza- Kuznetsova and interesting clinical cases from L. Ferrer. I will try to share new information received at the congress with colleagues in Ukraine. Also, I had a wonderful opportunity to talk with foreign colleagues and discuss the organization of clinics, dermatologist's work, methods of treatment and medications used in different countries.

Dear ESVD,I must confess that every newsletter I receive on my email signed by ESVD is a small reason of joy for a beginner dermatogist as I am, as it reminds me that I am part of a group of such incredible minds that share the same interest. Needless I say how grateful I was when I received the email confirming that I was one of the grantees, a feeling that lasted until the last day of congress and afterwards. The quality of the lectures and the choice of location for all scientific and social events made this exerience even more pleasing.I already made use of a few things I learned this congress and I became more confident about the things I already knew. So thank you again for this opportunity and I am looking forward to meeting you on next ESVD event.

Hello again. It is time for feedback. I wanna say big "Thank you" to give me an oportunity to join the world vetderm T-Rexes in DermCongress in Lauzanne this year. That was my the first real international veterinary conference and it was great to be there. I absorbed the new and really needful practice and theoretical info. I hope it would be my good tradition to visit the same congresses every years, cause now I know how wonderful they will be!

Dear all. I would like, once again, to thank the ESVD board for a travel grant. I appreciate this support very much, since without it, my participation on Annual ESVD congress, regarding on economical situation in Slovakia, would difficult be possible. To attend congresses is ,for me, an unique possibility to learn the newest infos about "old" problems, to go to "a depth" of causes, pathomechanisms and clinical signs of derm diseases, as well as to be informed about coming therapeuticals for diseases, frustrating owners and veterinarians as well. Always great organization, community spirit, heplful and friendly atmosphere in this congresses, are the best medium connecting people with the same liking - veterinary dermatology - who wants to rise and improving theyselves in this field. With best regards.

I'm really happy, that thanks to travel grant ESVD I had an opportunity to be on the World Congress of Veterinary Dermatology in Bordeaux. The programme of congress was outstanding! Such a pity, that visiting all the lectures was impossible, that's why printed and electronic materials of the participants deserve special thanks to organizers. Up-to date knowledge which I received will allow to treat my patients more successfully. Meetings with the collegues who are as in love in veterinary dermatology as I, and with the best famous dermatologists the world inspired me to go forward in my studying this subject. Bordo enchanted me by its beauty and hospitality, conquered French cuisine and became a zesty of the Congress. WSVD-8 was a grand event , which will remain forever a bright page of my life. A lot of thanks again to ESVD.

I would like to thank very much ESVD for providing me with the grant, i would never be able to attend without that! I had really great time in Brodeaux, despite bad weather. Congress was great, I got many new informations about my beloved cat patients. I liked the new info about resistency of microorganisms, that MIC is not enought and microbiology labs can do better work for practitioners. I liked the lectures about nutrition and probiotics, it is good to know that there is science behing the informations I am telling my clients. One of the most important part of congress is networking, getting new friends and I got few really nice friends. That all would not be possible without ESVD support.
