The TARANDUS network

Since 2021, the TARANDUS network has been able to build a platform where researchers, veterinarians and stakeholders focusing on reindeer health and welfare can exchange information and discuss new ideas and form new collaborations.

The long-term aim of the Nordic TARANDUS research network is to contribute to increased knowledge about reindeer health and welfare, and challenges linked to climate change and exploitation, and to strengthen collaboration and information flow between research communities, authorities, veterinarians, advisory organizations, and reindeer herders to better support reindeer herding and production.

See you in Luleå 10-12 February 2026!

The next TARANDUS conference is on February 10-12, 2026, at Quality Hotel in Luleå in Sweden. The conference is lunch to lunch. The theme is reindeer health and welfare. You are warmly welcome to participate!
