SEB Valencia 2013

Scientific Sessions

There are a broad range of Animal, Cell and Plant biology sessions running at SEB Valencia 2013 from the 3rd to 6th of July. In addition, we will also be running a number of career and education sessions. More information on these sessions, their durations and organizers can be found by clicking the links below the list of sessions:
