Launch of UCD Centre for Veterinary Epidemiology and Risk Analysis Strategic Plan 2024-27
The Minister for Agriculture, Food & the Marine, Charlie McConalogue TD launched the UCD Centre for Veterinary Epidemiology and Risk Analysis (CVERA) Strategic Plan on Tuesday 11 December. The Minister was joined at the launch by Professor Simon More, Director of UCD CVERA and Professor Rory Breathnach, Dean & Head of the UCD School of Veterinary Medicine
During 2023, a strategic review of CVERA was conducted in conjunction with the Department of Agriculture, Food & the Marine, the UCD School of Veterinary Medicine and other principal stakeholders. CVERA’s focus is on ongoing and future research to support national animal disease control in Ireland, and as a result of the review, clearly defined strategic goals, objectives and expected outcomes for the medium term were developed.
These goals and objectives are presented in the new Strategic Plan, which covers the period 2024 to 2027. Four main strategic themes are covered in the Strategic Plan: strategic leadership and impact, scientific excellence, communications and engagement, and organisational effectiveness.
