The first face-to-face meeting of the European Venom Network will take place in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 4-5 October 2022, thanks to the organizational efforts of Dr Giulia Zancolli. The COST Action EUVEN (CA19144) was launched in October 2020 with the aim of consolidating collaboration and knowledge exchange between European researchers working on venom, and fostering the development of the applicative potential of research in this exciting field. The scope of this EUVEN Extended Core Team Meeting is to plan the scientific and capacity building activities for the next two years of the lifetime of the Action.
