We have just heard that another major new WikiVet based project has received 0ver £ 130,000 of JISC funding. The [[OVAM|Online Veterinary Anatomy Museum]] (OVAM) involves all the UK and Irish veteriinary schools as well as partners overseas and commercial publishers. The aim is to develop a comprehensive and eduicationally focussed online anatomy museum by pooling resources from all the project partners. This is one of the first times that so many vetschools have signed up to a joint bid and represents the potential of WikiVet to foster collaboration.

[http://www.noviceproject.eu/ The Network Of Veterinary ICt in Education (NOVICE)] seeks to explore and extend the use of Web 2.0 tools in veterinary education and lifelong learning. The interactive site enables members - which include veterinarians, veterinary students, ICT educationalists and veterinary educationalists - to exchange knowledge and expertise throughout Europe and beyond. We think of it as the discussion part of WikiVet. The summer school provided an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas, discuss projects and strengthen already existing relationships between members.
