14th Rodens et Spatium
International Conference on Rodent Biology
28th July - 2nd August - 2014
Lisbon - Portugal
History of the Conference
Rodens et Spatium began as a series of conferences in France in 1987, under the name 'Le rongeur et l'espace'. International expansion took place in 1993 by the occasion of its 4th edition. The conference has been organized all over Europe and the increasing interest in the conference topic recently took to the adoption of the parallel english name 'International Conference on Rodent Biology'.
