Note to participants:  CEQA was set up and funded through the Eurogentest Network of Excellence. This funding is coming to an end in June 2010. In order for the Scheme to be financially viable and continue into the future, we have had to increase the cost of participation slightly. Please note that an annual administration fee of £100 (€110) will be added to your bill. All prices quoted in € are approximate and subject to the prevailing exchange rate)

 

 

If you have not participated in CEQA before, you will have to register first.
