EPSO presents its offer to contribute to Food and Nutritional Security, environmental sustainability and Human health for society and the genomics revolution through concepts such as “diverse crops for diverse diets, human health, and resilient production’, as well as articles on its successful Plant Science Seminar Series launched this year and its participation in the Plant Biology Europe Congress. We showcase EPSO’s activities in different working groups including the two new WGs ‘Plant Health’ and ‘Future Proofed Crops’, and science support. Help us updating the series of national plant research structure and funding for your bilateral collaborations. Finally note that the Horizon Europe briefing was updated and is available on the Members’ Only section.
