« Horticulture for a world in transition ».

Taking benefits from this new context, the organizing committee is preparing an unprecedented IHC in a hybrid version, which will focus on three priorities:
1) to host an outstanding scientific event,
2) to reinforce the links between research, education and industry, and
3) to enhance the links between Southern and Northern countries.

France is a major horticultural country in Europe, and Angers, located along the Loire Valley, in a mild climate, benefits from the largest concentration of actors in the French plant sector: research labs, experimental centres, higher education institutions, farms and industries. During your stay, you will have the possibility to visit these sites and to meet these people. You’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy the charms of France, its landscape, historical treasures, gastronomy and fine wines.
