Aims of VET2020
VET2020 STRUCTURE
The VET 2020 is a joint initiative of 22 Veterinarian
Education Institutions from 20 EU and Associated
Countries, EAEVE (European Association of
Establishments of Veterinary Education) and FVE
(Federation of Veterinarians of Europe), who
considered that adaptation of curricula and
educational methods should be studied and tackled
on a long term basis and according to social and
market needs.
The project structure includes work at different
levels of participation:
National – each partner was asked to consult
other
representative
professional
and
academic institutions from their Country;
Regional – the 20 participating Countries
were grouped into seven regions, listed below,
according to their specificities in terms of
veterinary aims and needs, or previous work
on veterinary education; each of these regions
has a co-ordinator. The identification of key
issues within the veterinary profession is
addressed and the main points of similarity
and major differences are identified in each
region.
Although the Universities aim at producing a
graduate of identified comparably high standards of
training, diversity of curricula must be encouraged
to incorporate an optional part, although
maintaining a “basic” competence in all fields of
Veterinary Science. It is well known that there will
never be a definitive or ideal curriculum, because
the education of veterinarians must be permanently
adapted to changes in the profession and to new
demands from the society.
Educational strategies, which facilitate the
development of different ways and levels of
learning, emerge, are transformed, disappear and
re-emerge in novel forms. It is the major objective
of this network to identify different European region
market and social needs for the year 2020, in order
to improve curriculum development/harmonisation
and to propose adaptations to meet requirements
of the profession at all levels of intervention.
The main activities involve the identification of
present key issues of veterinary involvement and
the study the possible evolution of veterinary social
intervention, from and within the main areas of
activity in order to achieve the major outcome of
harmonisation
of
educational
strategies
adjustments involving curriculum development.

General – every semester all partners have
the opportunity to gather in a general meeting,
where major outcomes of individual or group
work is presented and discussed.
Coordinators – The
seven regional
coordinators discuss the results of the
respective meetings and prepare the strategic
development of the project.
Steering Committee - The project coordination and major issues are planned and
analyzed in a more restricted group, the
Steering
Committee,
which
includes
representatives from five partners, suggested
in General meetings: Tito Fernandes, Josef
Leibetseder, Chris Gaskell, Rudolf Leiser,
Heriberto Rodriguez, Julie Fitzpatrick and
Cristina Vilela.
Activities during 2000/2001
(1st year)
The activities developed during the first were
focused on:
1) stimulating the project partners (one Institution
per participating Country) to promote meetings
at national level with the other veterinary
teaching institutions, professionals, firms and
governmental representatives, in order to
contribute with the identification of European,
national and regional specificities, recognizing
similarities and contradictions
2) discussing the results of those meetings with
partners from other Countries, grouped as
“Regional meetings”
3) analyzing these outcomes at European level,
in order to identify similarities and differences
in terms of the foreseen needs.
The major outputs were the identification of present
and future areas of intervention of veterinarians,
the main questions to be addressed in the market
study questionnaire and the definition of the target
groups for the inquiry.
The main products generated during the first year
are reports of the meetings, most of them
distributed amongst all partners’ Institutions and
available in the web.
Activities for 2001/2002
(2nd year)
VET2020 activities for the second year comprise
the implementation of a market study on the future
needs for the different veterinarian activities.
An Italian firm (Nomisma) is presently developing
the survey, working in close collaboration and
supervision of the Steering Committee and all the
other partner Institution coordinators.
Following the analysis of data collected, partners
will discuss identified problems and non-agreement
issues. Common general frames for curriculum
development will be established.
