On 6th November, the 1st Catalan Plant Biology Conference was held. The event, organised by the Plant Biology Section of the Catalan Society of Biology (SCB), brought together the Catalan scientific community working on plant research to share advances, raise the visibility of plant research and foster exchange among research groups.

Several members of Agrotecnio took part in the conference, which was attended by more than twenty institutions. The invited speaker was researcher Detlef Weigel, from the Max Planck Institute.
Held at the Institut d’Estudis Catalans in Barcelona, the conference brought together specialists from different centres and institutions to discuss recent advances in plant biology, from basic research to its applications in agriculture, biodiversity and biotechnology.
