The EAVPT 2026 Congress will feature a forward-looking scientific program that highlights state-of-the-art developments across veterinary pharmacology and toxicology. Organized over three thematic days, the congress will emphasize the integration of basic pharmacological research with applied therapeutic innovation but will also explore prospects regarding the adoption of new technologies and the implementation of novel educational approaches.

Building Our Foundations
• Antimicrobials, parasiticides, treatment resistance, and emerging alternatives
• State-of-the-art lectures on therapeutics, as well as on pain and anesthesia management in small and large animals
• Comparative and translational pharmacology
• (Eco)Toxicology: Impacts of natural toxins and environmental pollutants on animal health and therapeutic outcome.

This day focuses on core scientific concepts and mechanistic insights that form the basis for therapeutic discovery, optimization, and regulatory evaluation. It will also include lectures and presentations from ECVPT residents, the next generation of specialists in veterinary pharmacology and toxicology.

Shaping the Future
• 3D organoids for precision and comparative medicine
• In silico modeling and systems-based approaches
• Artificial intelligence and data-driven pharmacology
• Gene and cell therapies in veterinary medicine
• Innovative alternatives to in vivo animal testing
• Innovation developments in the veterinary industry
• Accelerating innovation through industry–academic collaboration

This day highlights emerging technologies and novel platforms that are transforming the way we approach therapeutic development and clinical implementation in veterinary medicine.

Training the Next Generation
• Modernizing education in the field of veterinary pharmacology and toxicology
• Career development for early-career scientists

Dedicated to mentorship and knowledge exchange, this half-day supports the advancement of future educators and leaders in veterinary pharmacology and toxicology through skills-building and professional networking.

The EAVPT 2026 Congress will serve as a critical platform to connect foundational science with translational application—bridging discovery and practice to shape the future of veterinary therapeutics.
