Nanjing Agricultural University 1st – 2nd April 2013
The two day conference was held at the HanYuan Hotel of the NJAU and attended by 20 Academic staff from 19 Universities around China. Mr Jia Zili from Chinese Veterinary Medicine Association and Chen Yuchi from LABOKLIN laboratory services also attended. Four University of Edinburgh staff were involved in delivering the lectures and practical sessions.
· The meeting lasted for two full days and provided opportunities to discuss issues of animal use in research and teaching as well as promoting the innovative teaching techniques, problem-solving and critical-thinking techniques necessary to strengthen veterinary education in China.
