Invitation to the STAR IDAZ Americas Regional Network Meeting in Ottawa

The next in-person STAR IDAZ Americas Regional Network Meeting will be held on 8 May 2026 in Ottawa, Canada, bringing together members of the STAR IDAZ community to strengthen international collaboration in animal health research.

The meeting will provide a valuable opportunity for dialogue and knowledge exchange among animal health funders and programme owners to advance animal health research and innovation across the Americas.

While participation is by invitation, animal health research funders and programme owners who are interested in attending are warmly encouraged to express their interest.

Those wishing to participate should complete the expression of interest form by 16 March 2026:

Expressions of interest will be reviewed and additional information will be shared with selected participants.

Practical information

• Participants are expected to cover their own travel and accommodation costs.
• If securing internal funding is difficult, applicants are encouraged to indicate this in the form. A limited amount of financial support may be available.

We look forward to connecting with research funders and programme owners across the Americas who are committed to advancing animal health research.
