The bovine reproduction courses at University of Liverpool, UK

ESDAR members (vets or non-vets) may attend one or more days of these courses, which would also be very useful for those registered for ECAR exams! Because of the 15 UK vets already registered on each week of the course, we can only accept up to five additional participants (first come, first served) for each week.

Applications must be sent to dbr@liv.ac.uk  at least five weeks before the intended start of each week. The attendance fee includes an electronic copy of speakers’ presentations – these are not for sale without attendance at the courses. Payment in GBP must be made within one week after acceptance on each week. Booking forms are at the end of this message.

The attendance fees are:                         One day:               300 GBP

                                                               Two days:             550 GBP

                                                               Whole week:        1000 GBP

Overnight accommodation can be provided if booked more than five weeks before arrival (approximately 40 GBP per night – including dinner, bed and breakfast). The venue of the courses is the Liverpool School of Veterinary Science, Leahurst campus – approximately 12 miles outside the city, but is in easy reach of either Manchester or Liverpool airports or Chester or Liverpool train stations. We have a friendly commercial taxi driver who may be able to collect participants from airports or stations if requested at the time of application (contact dbr@liv.ac.uk).

Students (including residents and PhD students) who have been Student ESDAR members for at least one year can apply for sponsorship to attend.  Applications for sponsorship must be submitted through the ESDAR web Site http://www.esdar.org at least five weeks before the intended start of each week (first come, first served). Sponsorship will only cover attendance fees and accommodation – travel costs will remain the responsibility of the student. Many cheap airlines use either Liverpool or Manchester.
