Vetsuisse Support Programmes

The Vetsuisse Faculty promotes young academics for the sustainable development of veterinary medicine. Scientifically trained young talent is an essential prerequisite for research, teaching and practice. The acute shortage of specialists emphasises the need to actively and vigorously promote young talent in veterinary medicine.

We support aspiring young scientists in their academic careers with targeted measures and funding programmes.

Do you have ideas for establishing support measures for young academics? KANG will be happy to support you!
