Strategy 2030 Vetsuisse Faculty, Universität Bern

"Creating knowledge together for the benefit of animals, humans, and the environment"

This is the underpinning slogan of the 2030 strategy of the Vetsuisse Faculty, University of Bern, approved by the Collegium on June 27, 2022.

In its overarching strategy, the Vetsuisse Faculty has outlined its intention to maintain its position as a leading veterinary faculty in Europe. It sees itself as an essential partner in the "One Health" concept.

The Bern location aligns with this positioning and envisions a society where animal health and welfare are given top priority. Many aspects of animal health are closely linked to human medical health and environmental protection (e.g. food, antibiotic resistance, pathogenesis, and disease therapy). Knowledge in this area is a crucial resource for better understanding connections, promoting animal health and welfare, preventing disease spread, and supporting a sustainable society.

Vetsuisse-Strategy

The Vetsuisse faculty of the Universities of Bern and Zurich has established common core principles outlining an overarching vision and mission, as well as long-term strategic objectives for both locations in Bern and Zurich. These serve as the foundation for the local implementation of teaching, research, and services. The specific strategic considerations of each site faculty complement these core principles.
