Short courses
On Sunday 23 May 2010, a range of half- and full-day short courses will be scheduled prior to the opening of the congress.
The purpose of short courses at SETAC Annual Meetings is to provide educational opportunities to the membership and our guests. Teaching a short course also provides an excellent opportunity for getting to know (young) people working in the same field of interest and thus forming networks.
