ESDAR 2010 | 17-18 September 2010 (Eger, Hungary)
ESDAR is a relatively young society which grew in less than one and a half decade from a small group of enthusiastic scientists to one of the largest European societies devoted to animal reproduction. Its annual conferences attract hundreds of delegates every year who are interested in the recent development of our discipline. A great recognition of ESDAR conferences is demonstrated by the increasing number of speakers and delegates from outside Europe.
