EAEVE Position Paper on Academic Autonomy and Independence in Veterinary Education

Introduction

 

The vision of the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education
(EAEVE), is that veterinary education, based on high standards, research, and innovation,
is the cornerstone of the veterinary profession. This profession serves Veterinary clinical
practice, Animal Health & Welfare, Veterinary Public Health, and One Health, and is
recognised by society for its contributions. EAEVE is committed to upholding the highest
ethical standards, including integrity, equity, and transparency, in all our activities and
decision-making processes, and to ensuring that the veterinary profession in Europe and
beyond reflects the core values. These principles are deeply embedded within EAEVE’s
Vision, Mission and Values and enshrined in our Code of Conduct.
