Every spring the European Veterinary Conference Voorjaarsdagen used to organize. Important goals of the Voorjaarsdagen Conference were to build friendships between veterinarians at a national and international level, to enhance the quality and availability of veterinary medicine and surgery, and to foster the exchange of scientific information among veterinarians.  The activities of the European Veterinary Conference have ceased with the last meeting in 2019.
