What is the Canine Science Forum?
The 1st Canine Science Forum in Budapest in July 2008 confirmed that there is a need for an interdisciplinary forum that brings together scientists with different expertise on Canines. The participants of the first conference expressed their desire to meet regularly, and the Canine Science Forum was decided to be a biannual meeting.
