AusBiotech, supported by AbbVie, has now opened the Student Volunteer Program for the International BioFest 2016 - the largest-ever gathering in Australian life sciences, with three major conferences in one week in one place as one integrated network.
Volunteering during the International BioFest 2016, 24 - 27 October 2016 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, will allow students unprecedented access to three major events; the International Biotechnology Symposium (IBS) 2016, AusBiotech 2016 and/or Australia Biotech Invest 2016.
