PCV-2 research awards now also in Europe
Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health announced the launch of the European PCV-2 Award. Three prizes of €25,000 each will be granted to those European researchers that suggest innovative approaches in the field of swine immunology to explore Porcine Circovirus Diseases (PCVD) or PCV-2 associated diseases.
The European PCV-2 Award has an independent judging panel with Europe’s leading scientists in applied porcine research reviewing the entries and deciding upon the winning proposal*. The panel is chaired by Professor Maurice Pensaert from the Laboratory of Veterinary Virology at the University of Ghent in Belgium.
