Scientific programme and guidelines
The scientific programme consists of 65 sessions amongst 10 main tracks. This is including 9 tracks for parallel sessions and 1 track for special sessions.
The complete programme can now be viewed online: you can download abstracts per track, per session, or for each presentation individually. The short and extended abstracts of the whole meeting programme are available via ‘downloads’.
Create your personal exportable and downloadable meeting itinerary!
You can access the online itinerary planner using your regular SETAC credentials, selecting ‘SETAC Europe 24th Annual Meeting’ and the ‘Programme/Display’ module.
