This includes its members, academia, and related stakeholders such as industry, consumer representatives and the general public. EPSO aims to: • Increase impact and visibility of the European plant science community • Articulate the vision of the European plant science community for the future and advise on decisions of funding agencies at the European and national level on long term strategies to support plant science • Communicate with academia, industry and the general public to ensure independent dissemination of plant science information • Contribute to tighten the link between plant science and the development of agriculture, horticulture, forestry and ecology. Members of EPSO are 168 academic organisations from 26 countries, such as institutes and universities, and over 1000 personal members. They interact with the EPSO observers from industry and other related organisations. EPSO has links to specialised organisations in the area of plant and life sciences in Europe, and plant science organisations worldwide. The EPSO Conferences, the European Plant Sciences Forum, play a vital role in contributing to the development of plant sciences in Europe to ensure that they remain • On the forefront of plant sciences worldwide • Beneficial to humankind and our environment • Valuable to society at large • Committed to ethics. We are delighted to welcome you to the 4th EPSO Conference to actively take part in the debates that will have a significant impact on the most crucial aspects of plant science and its contribution to our society. This conference brings together world leading plant scientists from 34 countries from Europe, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, USA and Vietnam to discuss cutting edge science and organise networks in four thematic areas: • Understanding, preserving and using plant diversity • Preserving our future by reducing the inputs in agriculture • Improving plant product quantity and quality • New products Representatives from academia, industry and politics discuss socially relevant topics, such as • Plant science in Europe – science policy • The challenges for tomorrow’s agriculture We wish you an enjoyable conference in the inspiring surroundings of the Giens peninsula. At the heart of a 34 hectares pine-wood forest, encircled by small coves, this is one of the most beautiful sites on the Côte d’Azur. We would like to thank our French colleagues, the organising committee and the conference secretariat for their enthusiasm in preparing this conference.
