It was a nice conference about mycotoxins and moulds which gave young scientists as well as long experienced researchers the opportunity to present their scientific results and to discuss the findings. Additionally, the social program was very attractive and pointed out the excellent Polish cuisine. The next International Conference “Mycotoxins and moulds” will be held 2010. |
