Seed Conservation Techniques Course

NKUA Seed Bank, Section of Botany, Department of Biology, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Athens, 6-10 June 2022

The Workshop ‘Seed Conservation Techniques Course’ took place in our lab premises from 6 to 10 June, 2022, and - we believe - fulfilled successfully its goals. It was organised jointly by RBG Kew and NKUA and the lectures/practicals were taught by RBG Kew personnel (Dr A. Faruk, Ms H. Oldfield, Ms F. Stanley and Mr I. Willey). Among the 14 trainees (some of them already quite experienced in several aspects of ex situ plant conservation) the junior ones (8 in total) were either close to or near after the completion of their studies for the Biology Diploma (BSc). Consequently, all of them were actively involved in the implementation of the Project as field and/or lab associates.
