Abstract

The Second International Conference of Advance Veterinary Science and Technologies for Sustainable Development (2nd ICAVESS) 17 -18 September 2022 [Virtual Conference] https://icavess.ugm.ac.idThe Second International Conference of Advance Veterinary Science and Technologies for Sustainable Development is an academic platform organised by Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia in collaboration with Asian Association of Veterinary Schools and World Organisation of Animal Health Regional Representation for Asia and the Pacific (WOAH-RRAP). Following the success of the first ICAVESS, The 2nd ICAVESS held virtually on September 17-18, 2022 with theme “Multidiscipline Collaboration for The Innovative and Productive Development in Veterinary Science”.With the development of the era, the challenges faced by researchers, academics, practitioners, community institutions, industry, and stakeholders are also becoming more complex. This is what then drives the urgency to implement integrated collaboration from various backgrounds in expertise. The United Nations in the agenda for sustainable development has set 17 goals, including good health and well-being, affordable and clean energy, responsible consumption and production, climate action, life below water, life on land, and partnerships for the goals. These goal points are further elaborated as the aspiration to achieve a healthy and prosperous life, conservation and sustainability as well as resource utilization in the waters and on land, biodiversity sustainability, and the need to fight the climate change and its impacts,Cases such as COVID-19, genetic mutation, dynamics of disease transmission, and zoonotic cases require various parties with different disciplines to handle them. As another example, the occurrence of emerging and re-emerging diseases is triggered by various factors. These factors include human population expansion, urbanization, globalization, climate change, poverty, social inequality, migration, trade and consumption of wildlife, livestock production industry, irrational use of antimicrobials, development of antimicrobial resistance in humans and live stocks, and the implementation of public health measures such as vaccination and sanitation. The scope of aspects of predisposing factors for emerging and re-emerging diseases illustrates the breadth and dynamics of the problems that must be resolved, and these may not be achievable by only involving a single contribution from certain parties. The dynamics and variety of challenges faced require productive development. Solving these matters requires a multidisciplinary teamwork. In addition, the 2nd ICAVESS is expected to include a multidisciplinary approach to improve quality, productivity, and opportunities for publications. Thus, the collaboration results not only end in this conference but can also benefit various parties.The committee successfully hosted the event as the plenary sessions, AAVS veterinary education session, AAVS-UGM-WOAH joint session and parallel presentation sessions in a virtual way due to COVID 19 pandemic. This conference presented insightful talks from 6 invited speakers from Finland, Indonesia, America, Thailand, Germany, Japan, inspiring innovation sharing from 3 presenters in AAVS Vet Education Session, and great session from speakers of AAVS-WOAH-UGM Sessions.List of Keynote Speakers, Invited Speakers, AAVS Vet Education Session, AAVS Vet Edu Day 2 (AAVS-WOAH-UGM Session), Committee are available in this Pdf.
