Date: 9 February 2021
Time: 14.00 -18.00h

All EPS members with an interest in Interactions between Plants and Biotic Agents are hereby kindly invited to join the EPS Theme 2 Symposium on the 9 February 2021. This Symposium will be an online event. So we can be sure to follow all the corona regulation and most important to create an scientific environment where we can present and discuss our results, while maintaining a healthy distance.
