WFO @ XX IBC
Between 21 and 27th July thousands of botanists from around the world will descend on Madrid for the XX International Botanical Congress. WFO will have a significant presence with a. workshop World Flora Online: how to get involved on Monday 22nd (13.05−14.30) and a symposium World Flora Online: developing taxonomic consensus for land plants supporting science, conservation and sustainable use on Wednesday (11.00−13.00).
Many symposia, workshops and individual talks have been organized by members of WFO TENs, showcasing their research and the benefits of being part of the global community that is the World Flora Online.
