The Young Generation of Veterinary Anatomists (YGVA) is a branch of the European Association of Veterinary Anatomists (EAVA), with the purpose of facilitating open discussion and exchange of ideas in a friendly, informal environment. All researchers and educators in the field of anatomy, embryology or histology are welcome to the biennial meetings, but they are particularly aimed at students and people in the early stages of their career.
We were lucky enough to attend the 8th meeting of the YGVA in Poznań, Poland as representatives of the Royal Veterinary College and the Online Veterinary Anatomy Museum (OVAM). Our trip began with an early start and a smooth flight to Poznań Airport. A quick taxi ride took us to the campus of the Poznań University of Life Sciences, shortly after which we realised we were a few hours early for registration and made our way to the dormitory for a nap and change of clothes.
