2018 Interbull Technical Workshop in Dubrovnik, Croatia

The workshop will be held on 25^th  and 26^th, August 2018 in the beautiful city of Dubrovnik, Croatia, just before the 69^th EAAP meeting.

During the Interbull Technical Workshop we will focus on the development of Interbull Services such as SNPMace, Mendelian Sampling Test and InterGenomics-Holstein.

Registration to the Interbull Technical Workshop is now open! Please note that even if the workshop would be open to all researchers/scientists there will be however a maximum of 70 attendees, this to maximize the outcome of the workshop.
