PBE2023

This international meeting covers a wide range of plant science topics across multiple disciplines and scales. Previous editions, in Copenhagen and Turin, attracted some 900 scientists from Europe and around the world.

Among the many themes to be addressed during the meeting, particular emphasis will be placed on plants and climate change, algal biology and bioenergy.
