About BPSC

Belgium has a strong international reputation in plant science, with excellent research being conducted in diverse domains including but not limited to biodiversity monitoring and conservation, seed banks and herbarium collections, taxonomy, ecology, agroecology, agronomy, precision agriculture, phenology, breeding, physiology, molecular biology, plant-microbe interactions and plant pathology, and biotechnology. However, collaborations between research institutions have traditionally been sporadic, often limited to individual projects. 

The Belgian Plant Science Community (BPSC) was created to address these gaps by fostering a structured and unified network that strengthens collaboration, enhances visibility, and creates a collective voice for plant science in Belgium.
