At EVIW 2027, sustainability is a shared responsibility guiding both the scientific programme and the organisation of the event.
Aligned with the One Health approach, the meeting promotes a holistic vision connecting animal, human, and environmental health, while fostering responsible practices and supporting long-term sustainable innovation in veterinary immunology.
Food Surplus Recovery
EVIW 2027 has joined the Food for Good project, promoted by Federcongressi&eventi, Banco Alimentare, and Equoevento Onlus, with the aim of reducing food waste and supporting local communities.
We kindly encourage all participants to be mindful of food consumption and avoid unnecessary waste. Any surplus food will be safely recovered and donated to local charities, contributing to supporting people in need.
EVIW 2027 Commitment:
- Minimizing printed materials by providing digital access to the scientific programme, if printing is necessary, use FSC-certified paper.
- Encouraging waste reduction and proper recycling throughout the venue,
- Prioritizing locally sourced, reusable, and environmentally responsible materials
- Collaborating with partners and suppliers committed to sustainable practices
- Use disposable utensils if they are made from biodegradable and compostable materials.
- Promoting accessible and inclusive facilities for all participants
- Encouraging the use of public transportation and sustainable travel options
- Aim to generate a positive impact on society through special projects.
- Select hotels within walking distance of the congress venue.
- Use local suppliers to reduce the environmental impact of transportation.
- Collaborate with partners committed to reducing their carbon footprint and who have already implemented sustainable practices in their operations.
- Choose local menus for social events
What You Can Do
We encourage all participants to actively contribute to making EVIW 2027 a more sustainable and responsible event.
Small individual actions can collectively make a significant impact:
-
Travel responsibly
Whenever possible, choose sustainable transportation options such as trains, public transport (metro or bus), carpooling, or active mobility (walking or cycling). If flying is necessary, consider direct flights to reduce emissions and evaluate carbon offset programmes. -
Reduce waste and single-use materials
Bring a reusable water bottle and limit the use of disposable items. Opt for sustainable alternatives whenever possible. -
Make conscious consumption choices
Consume food responsibly to help minimize waste and support local, seasonal options whenever available. -
Support the local economy
Choose local products and artisanal goods, contributing to the community while reducing environmental impact. -
Go digital
Use the Congress website and digital tools to access the scientific programme and event information, helping to reduce paper consumption. -
Recycle properly
Follow on-site waste management guidelines and use designated recycling bins to ensure correct disposal of materials. -
Share resources
When appropriate, share taxis or transport with colleagues to further reduce your environmental footprint.
Together, we can make EVIW 2027 not only a leading scientific event, but also a responsible and forward-looking one, aligned with the principles of sustainability and the One Health approach.
Within the framework of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), EVIW 2027 promotes initiatives and scientific exchange aligned with the following goals:
SDG 2 – Zero Hunger
Animal health is directly linked to food security and sustainable livestock production. By promoting research in veterinary immunology and disease control, EVIW 2027 supports healthier animals, improved productivity, and safer food systems.
SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-being
Animal health is directly linked to food security and sustainable livestock production. By promoting research in veterinary immunology and disease control, EVIW 2027 supports healthier animals, improved productivity, and safer food systems.
SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
The event promotes sustainable practices both scientifically and operationally. From innovative in vitro systems and alternative experimental models to environmentally conscious event organization, EVIW 2027 encourages more efficient use of resources and reduced environmental impact.
SDG 13 – Climate Action
Through the One Health approach, EVIW 2027 highlights the impact of environmental changes on disease emergence and spread. Understanding these dynamics is essential for developing resilient and adaptive health systems in the context of climate change.
SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals
EVIW 2027 fosters collaboration between academia, industry, and institutions, creating a platform for knowledge exchange and strategic partnerships. Such collaborations are essential to accelerate innovation and address complex global challenges.
Our Contribution
By integrating science, innovation, and collaboration, EVIW 2027 aims to generate a positive and lasting impact, supporting sustainable development in animal health and beyond.
