The University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, hosted the final Capacity Building Workshop of the Erasmus+ EDUVET project during 12–25 July 2026, bringing together academic staff from the partner institutions to complete the next stage of curriculum modernisation for Veterinary Medicine education.

Building upon the achievements of the previous workshops, participants focused on reviewing, validating, and further refining the draft syllabi developed throughout the project. Working sessions addressed curriculum coherence, learning outcomes, teaching and assessment methods, competency-based education, and alignment with European quality standards and the One Health concept.

The programme offered participants a comprehensive overview of veterinary and animal science education at the University of Ljubljana. Activities included presentations of bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral, lifelong learning, and microcredential programmes, together with visits to the Veterinary Faculty laboratories and clinics, the National Veterinary Institute, the National Centre for Animal Welfare, and the Department of Animal Science.

Participants also explored specialised laboratories and experimental facilities dedicated to animal nutrition, genetics, dairy science, meat and egg quality, poultry production, aquaculture, and veterinary research. Additional study visits to dairy, cattle, pig, and sheep farms, dairy processing facilities, and agricultural enterprises provided valuable examples of sustainable livestock production, food quality and safety, animal welfare, and practical veterinary education.

Throughout the two-week programme, project partners worked collaboratively to further improve the 10 course syllabi, incorporating feedback from previous workshops and ensuring consistency across the modernised curriculum. The collaborative discussions and exchange of expertise contributed to strengthening the academic quality of the proposed curricula and preparing them for the next stages of implementation within Deliverable D2.5.

Beyond the technical work, the workshop strengthened cooperation among partner institutions, encouraged the exchange of good practices, and reinforced the project’s shared commitment to developing a modern, student-centred Veterinary Medicine curriculum aligned with European educational standards.

The University of Ljubljana provided an excellent environment for collaboration, combining academic expertise, practical demonstrations, and field experience, making the workshop an important milestone in achieving the objectives of the EDUVET project.
