The European Society of Veterinary Pathology (ESVP) was established in 1951 as the Arbeitsgemein-schaft für Veterinärpathologen; it changed its name in 1968 to the Europäische Arbeits-gemeinschaft für Veterinärpathologen and again in 1974 to become the Europäische Gesellschaft fuer Veterinärpathologie; since 1994 it has been called the European Society of Veterinary Pathology.
The European College of Veterinary Pathologists (ECVP) was established in 1995 to advance veterinary pathology and promote high standards within the specialty in Europe.
The European Society of Toxicologic Pathology (ESTP) was established in October 2002 by a transition of the “Gesellschaft für Toxikologische Pathologie” (GTP). The former GTP members felt that it was important to adapt to future challenges and form a strong Europe oriented international society.
The ESVP, ECVP and ESTP developed the idea to organize a joint congress under the motto "Cutting Edge Pathology". As European Societies and College with the common interest in the wide field of veterinary pathology, we aim to continue and intensify our collaboration and strengthen the interaction in the veterinary pathology community in Europe. Thereby the idea was born to create an own internet presence for the joint Cutting Edge Pathology congresses.
