The Houghton Trust Lecture

On the occasion of each World Veterinary Poultry Association (WVPA) Congress, the Houghton Trust sponsors the Houghton Trust Lecture, which is given by a young scientist (not older than 45 at the time of the relevant Congress), who has made major contributions to the field of poultry disease research.

To mark the occasion, the Lecturer is presented with an engraved commemorative award.  All costs of attending the Congress at which the Lecture is given are met by the Houghton Trust.

A table of previous Lecturers and the 2011 presenter at the XVIth Congress in Cancun, Mexico is given below.
