In addition, LinkTADs partners were sponsored to participate in specific sessions at the InterRisk Master, and a one month online course on foot-and-mouth disease was exclusively delivered by the European Commission for the control of foot-and-mouth disease (EuFMD) to 40 Chinese veterinarians in different institutions.
