The academic commission composed by lecturers of the Faculty of Biological Sciences, which evaluate the Olympics, will determine the finalists and the winners of the Biology Olympics of València who will participate in the national phase. This year it will be celebrated in Palma de Mallorca from the 28th to the 31th of march of 2019.

Of the total of participants in the national phase, the best eight will be selected and will represent Spain in international phases in 2019. These students will have a specific training, theoretical and practical during this week in order to participate in the international phases.
