The aim of the ABG Connection Days is to share knowledge, to connect and reconnect and share experience with alumni and colleagues. Therefore, the main theme of the ABG Connection Days 2024 is “Connect & Reconnect” and each day will have a specific sub-theme.
The theme of the first day is 'Animals of the Future', with a focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Biodiversity and Climate Change. The theme of the second day is ‘Breeding all over the world', and this day will focus on the role of different ABG alumni working all over the world.
