ReVET aims to create a convergence between the EU and Asian Universities. This will lead to two main results; firstly, a better preparation of future veterinarians and secondly, easier recognition of credits between the faculties of the EU and Asia, which will improve the exchange of knowledge and favor the mobility of professionals between the two continents. To this end, future veterinarians, prepared with the new and reinforced ReVET curriculum, will be able to face new challenges for the benefit of civil society and future generations.
