abstract

The key stages of formation of the Theriological School (TS) as a network of specialists and as an annual meeting of theriologists from Ukraine and neighbouring countries, are considered. Established as one of the sections of the Ukrainian Theriological Society in 1993, the TS has developed into a powerful movement that includes both conferences and publishing work, and a system of working groups to coordinate, develop or distribute a number of methodological and informational developments important for the implementation of theriological research. Seven key achievements of TC are considered: 1) formation of important research topics for consideration at the annual meeting; 2) development of a system of regular roundtables and working groups; 3) actualisation of new research areas; 4) development of a system of professional growth through competitions, personnel growth and advanced training; 5) wide geography of meetings and participants; 6) peer-to-peer mode and maximum adherence to the concept of the classical school; and 7) development of information infrastructure, including a website, forum, social media pages, newsletter, and professional journal. In the context of the covid and military lockdown, there is a transition to remote forms of work, including social media channels, a website, and publications.
