General Assembly and Elections 2023
Dear members,
After 6 years of dedicated service on the Board, I am stepping down, along with Tuire Tamminen. I would like to express my gratitude for the opportunity to work with such an incredible group. It has been a privilege to serve alongside you all, and I am thankful for the support, motivation, and positivity that has characterized our time together.
We have two open positions on the Board:
- One academic position
- One practitioner position
We have received 4 applications, 1 for the academic position and 3 for the practitioner positions. After evaluation by the Board, all applications have been deemed valid. Below is the list of candidates:
– Anne VAN SOOM(Belgium) as Academic
– Hasan SONTAS (Austria) as Pratictionner
– Marko RADICEVIC (Serbia) as Pratictionner
– Zuzanna NIEWIADOMSKA-MARQUETTE (France) as Pratictionner
More details about candidates here
The elections will be open during the Nantes Congress and will conclude on the day of our general assembly.
According to our bylaws, the general assembly will be postponed to November 16th. The regulation stipulates that candidates must be presented to the members at least 2 months before the GA.
The GA will take place online on the Zoom platform. A link will be sent to all members who have paid the membership fee for 2022.
The next GA will also be the opportunity to vote for the change and update of our society’s bylaws.Your participation is essential for this type of change. The society’s bylaws require the participation of at least two-thirds of the members.
I would like to highlight that only members who have paid the membership fee at least one month before the GA will have the right to vote in the elections.
Thank you, I will leave you to discover the candidates, and I hope to see many of you in Nantes for the 1st ESAR symposium in a few days.

Statement for Ukrainian veterinarians
EVSSAR as an European and international society aiming to support scientific cross-national exchange and friendships. Our society condemns the war actions in Ukraine. We sincerely hope that all our members and their beloved ones are safe and sound.
The Board has decided to waive the membership fees for our Ukrainian members for 2023. In addition, the Board has decided to offer a special registration fee for those Ukrainian vets who would like to attend the 1st ESAR symposium in Nantes. Ukrainian colleagues can participate at the same fee as a PhD Student or Resident (200 Euros).
We are determined to offer as much help and support as we can, to our Ukrainian veterinary colleagues and we are open for suggestions to further support the reconstruction and development of small animal reproduction (and beyond) in Ukraine.
On behalf of the EVSSAR Board,
The president,
Andrea Del Carro
