The 6^th EUGLOH Plant Science Meeting is organized by the Plant Functional Biology and Biotechnology Master Course from the University of Porto. It extends an open invitation to students of the EUGLOH Alliance Universities and the entire plant biology scientific community for participation and oral or poster presentation. It promises to be a remarkable occasion for exchanging research ideas, knowledge sharing, and collaboration, uniting students, academics, and researchers in the context of the EUGLOH Alliance.

The meeting will focus on four main topics (sessions): PLANT FUNCTIONAL GENOMICS, PLANT PHYSIOLOGY, PLANT-MICROBE INTERACTIONS and PLANT AND ALGAE BIOTECHNOLOGY. The program includes three plenary lectures by distinguished international scientists aimed at inspiring students to pursue the field of plant biology.

• Franciska Turck, Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research, Germany — “Epigenetic regulation of plant development”
• José David Flores-Félix, Institute of Natural Resources and Agrobiology of Salamanca, Spain, — “Bacterial biostimulant for plant growth promotion: between (molecular) dialogue and the (rhizospheric) fight”
• Lia Tânia Dinis, Department of Biology and Environment, University of Trás-os-Montes and Alto Douro – “Uvine Safe”

You can participate either in person at Room FC5-2.78, Faculty of Science, University of Porto, or via online video streaming. The streaming link will be provided after registration.
