Dear Colleagues,
The upcoming Congress of the Mediterranean Phytopathological Union, titled: “New Phytopathology Frontiers of Research and Education for Plant Health and Food Safety” aims to promote education and research as essential tools to address the new challenges of phytopathology and food safety, thereby raising community awareness and promoting a responsible, ecological and sustainable future.
The Congress will serve as a forum to facilitate the exchange of cutting-edge scientific knowledge, to encourage dialogue between researchers, policymakers, industry and other stakeholders in plant and food health and to empower a robust and connected knowledge community that collaborates towards shared goals and objectives.
We are planning to hold a major event to showcase the role of Education and Research in Phytopathology, for food security and safety, and help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
There can be no sustainable future for phytopathology and food safety without the support of fresh ideas and solutions provided by early career researchers.
Participation of young scientists is therefore strongly encouraged, and reduced registration fees are available for students, fellows and early carreer researchers.
Awards will be given to best young scientists’ posters and presentations.
The conference language will be English.
The Book of abstracts will be published in the MPU’s international open-access journal Phytopathologia Mediterranea, which will also host some relevent contributions in a Special Issue.
We look forward to welcoming you to Bari.
Your presence will contribute to a fruitful exchange of scientific ideas and help forge new friendships and future collaborations. We are sure that your experience in our city will be scientifically rewarding, very pleasant and truly unforgettable.
With the Patronage of:
