New logo, new brand name: „Vetmeduni Austria“

With immediate effect, Vetmeduni will operate under the new brand name and logo „Vetmeduni Austria“. The new identity reflects what the University has stood for for more than 260 years: veterinary science, research and education in the service of animals – and for the benefit of people throughout Austria.

Austria has had a university of veterinary medicine since 1765. Over the course of its history, it has borne many names, including the School of Equine Treatment and Surgery, the Institute for the Treatment of Livestock Diseases, the Military Veterinary School, the University of Veterinary Medicine and the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna. What has remained unchanged is its distinctive role: it is Austria’s only academic institution dedicated to veterinary education and research.

The new brand name, „Vetmeduni Austria“, clearly expresses this mission. It reflects the University’s nationwide significance as well as its international strength. This is demonstrated, for example, by its EAEVE accreditation, its researchers from around the world, and its alumni, who work internationally in clinics, laboratories, universities and public authorities.

The University’s growing presence across Austria’s federal states is also an immediate reason for the new identity: in addition to its existing eight locations, four new satellite sites are being established – two in Upper Austria and one each in Salzburg and Styria.
