Dear Plant Health Community,
We are delighted to invite you to the 17th Congress of the Mediterranean Phytopathological Union entitled: “New phytopathology frontiers of research and education for plant health and food safety” to be held at CIHEAM Bari – Italy in July 6-10, 2025.
The Congress aims to promote education and research as essential tools to address the new challenges of phytopathology and food safety, encouraging dialogue among researchers, policy makers, industry and other stakeholders in plant and food health.
No future can be sustainable in phytopathology and food safety without the support of fresh ideas and solutions provided by young scientists.
Participation of MSc/PhD students and early-career researchers is therefore strongly encouraged through reduced registration fees and the awarding of prizes for best posters and oral presentations. An additional reduction for registration is offered to young scientists from countries not included in the list of ‘Developed Countries’ by the United Nations.
The conference language is English.
The abstracts of the oral and poster presentations will be published in the MPU international, open-access journal Phytopathologia Mediterranea, which will also host selected reviews and research papers presented at the congress.
We are looking forward to welcome you in Bari.
Your attendance will contribute to the fruitful exchange of scientific ideas and help to forge new friendships and future collaborations. We are sure that your experience in our city will be scientifically rewarding, highly enjoyable and truly unforgettable.
