Also this year, in the month of May, the seventh edition of the “Fascination of Plants Day” FoPD 2024.
This is an international initiative launched by EPSO (European Plant Science Organization) with the aim of presenting the beauty of the plant world to the general public, underlining the importance of plants for society and improving the visibility of the scientific research carried out in the plant field.
