EUNOPS 12European Network of Palm Scientists
Sanremo (Italy) 12-13 may 2012
Le 12ème meeting du réseau EUNOPS se déroule cette année dans le cadre de la Villa Nobel de Sanremo (Italy). Il est organisé par 2 partenaires du Projet Phoenix: le CSRP (Centro Studi e Ricerche per le Palme), en collaboration avec le CRA-FSO (Ornamental Plants Research Unit of the Italian Agriculture Research Council). Vous trouverez ci-dessous le programme des communications.
