IHC2018 will open a new page in scientific and practical teamwork of the horticulturists from Eastern Europe, Kazakhstan and Central Asia. We invite the Congress participants from these regions to join a special East Europe-Central Asia Summit, jointly organized by ISHS and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).  The Summit will provide a large platform for networking and matching novel expertise for the development priorities of these regions.

Stefan Gafner, PhD, ABC's chief science officer, will be giving a lecture titled "Botanical Ingredient Adulteration – How to Fool Commonly Used Analytical Techniques." More information.
