CEEPUS VetNEST Summer School “Exotic and Wild Animal Medicine”

Experiencing a CEEPUS Mobility in Croatia: Summer School of Exotic and Wild Animal Medicine at the Veterinary Faculty in Zagreb The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Zagreb hosted an international summer school dedicated to exotic and wild animals. The school was organized in July 2025 and students from Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, and North Macedonia participated.

In this hands-on-oriented course, participants gained theoretical and practical knowledge about handling, manipulation, clinical procedures, and treatment of exotic and wild birds, reptiles, and small mammals. The programme was carefully structured so that the scholarship holders could participate in expert lectures and practice in the veterinary hospital.

Students were able to actively participate in all procedures that were first explained during the theoretical part of the programme: This combination of theory and practice helps to consolidate our knowledge in a meaningful and lasting way. Personally, I had the opportunity to perform an ultrasound examination, which was a valuable and memorable experience for me. It is not often that students are given such a chance so early in a program, and I truly appreciate this hands-on approach, Weronika K. from Poland points out.

Apart from the practice, expert lectures led by specialists in the fields of zoo, exotic, and wildlife medicine garnered a lot of interest and many positive experiences from students and teachers.

Building Knowledge and Experience Exchange in CFD

Network coordinators after a meeting

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analyses and solves problems that involve flows like gases or liquids.

Computers are used to simulate a model that shows how these fluids flow and interact with the surfaces and solids of the model. CFD is used to pre-engineer complex areas where the right temperatures and flows are critical factors. It is a very powerful tool that shows in advance how temperature, pressure and velocity are going to behave in a design. This Network with established contacts between scientists who deal with CFD, offers exchange of information, knowledge and experience and the participation of common research projects and other activities. It organizes lectures, seminars, summer courses and scientific conferences and workshops. Special emphasize is also on the usage of laboratory equipment of the partners within the network. Mobilities are planned for undergraduates, graduates as well as for teachers. Additionally, 6 of the partner institutes in 5 different CEEPUS member countries offer two different Joint PhDs.

What our scholars have to say

Dr. Gabriella Vöő

Exchange teacher in Olomouc

There was a large student turnout, the students were interested and they participated in the discussions. I had conversations with colleagues about academic and administrative matters and we also discussed possibilities for joint research projects in the future.

Prof. Jelka Gersak

Professor and network coordinator, Maribor

It is important to point out that the activities that have taken place in the framework of student mobility, especially of PhD students, do not end with the end of the mobility, but remain as an important link, in the framework of joint scientific articles and publications in co-authorship.

Milica Stankovic, PhD

Professor from Nis, Serbia

During my stay in Ljubljana, I had the opportunity to give lectures in the area of Circular Economy and global challenges. The multidisciplinarity of the topic contributed to a great result and an excellent discussion with students from study fields of biology, biotechnology, environmental protection and food technology on the topic of the circular economy. I am sure that this CEEPUS teaching mobility is the first step towards a future successful cooperation.
