GEHNA organizes meetings and collaborative sessions to support dialogue, coordination, and knowledge exchange among its members. These meetings provide a forum for discussion of shared priorities, ongoing initiatives, and future activities in equine health and nutrition.
Format and Participation
In addition to in-person meetings, most GEHNA working group activities are conducted online. This approach supports broad international participation and allows for continuous interaction between meetings.
GEHNA meetings may include a combination of plenary discussions, focused working sessions, and informal networking opportunities. Participation in meetings may depend on membership status and the nature of the meeting.
