An EMBO (European Molecular Biology Organisation) workshop. Plants feed us, produce the air we breathe and form and support our environment. In a world faced with a growing population and climatic change, the importance of understanding the fundamental processes used by plants to maintain and repair their genomes is of ever increasing importance and urgency. These processes also underlie both conventional plant breeding for agronomy and the development of innovative technologies to be applied to new plant varieties in the future.

The first international "Fascination of Plants Day" will be launched under the patronage of the European Plant Science Organisation (EPSO). The goal of this activity is to get as many people as possible around the world fascinated by plants and enthused about the importance of plant science for agriculture, in sustainably producing food, as well as for horticulture, forestry, and all of the non-food products such as paper, timber, chemicals, energy, and pharmaceuticals. The role of plants in environmental conservation will also be a key message.
