International Veterinary Vaccinology Network

Exhibitor

The International Veterinary Vaccinology Network (IVVN) is a global community of scientists and industry partners working together to develop vaccines against important animal diseases.

Livestock agriculture supports the livelihoods of 1.7 billion people worldwide, playing a crucial role in the economies of LMICs. These industries provide nutrient-rich and high-value products essential for food security and combating malnutrition. As global populations grow, so does the demand for these products. However, veterinary diseases have devastating effects on animal welfare, human health, livelihoods, and LMIC economies.

Vaccines are the most effective tools to combat these diseases. Yet, for many pathogens, effective vaccines are either unavailable or not accessible where they are most needed. Developing and deploying vaccines is a complex, multidisciplinary process involving immunology, epidemiology, industrial biotechnology, and economics. Overcoming technical and logistical challenges often requires collaboration across international teams.

Unfortunately, opportunities to form these critical partnerships are limited—particularly for diseases relevant to LMICs. The IVVN is committed to bridging this gap by fostering collaborations and supporting innovation through four core areas:

  • Facilitating opportunities for networking to help establish new collaborations and exchange information.
  • Supporting scientific collaboration by funding pump-priming projects and laboratory exchanges involving international partners.
  • Training early career scientists to support the development of future international expertise.
  • Promoting gender equality in veterinary vaccinology to help bridge the opportunity gap for women scientists and create a more diverse and inclusive research environment.

Since 2017, the IVVN has welcomed 2,300 members from 93 countries, building a collaborative community advancing veterinary vaccinology worldwide.
