100th Anniversary Symposium for the Norwegian Society of Pathology
The Norwegian Society of Pathology celebrated the first 100 years with a symposium on Updates and Future of Pathology. The event was supported by CCBIO and also celebrated with a history book covering the Society and its activities through 1923-2023.
