INTERNATIONAL SUNFLOWER ASSOCIATION

The war in Ukraine, the world leader in sunflower production, is of direct concern to the whole sunflower research and innovation community. We regularly meet with colleagues from Ukraine, scientists, and agronomists, at events organised by ISA or in the framework of collaborative projects.

Faced with the situation, some national institutions and ISA members are mobilising to offer assistance to Ukrainian researchers and possibly their families by hosting them at least temporarily.

There is one month left to submit abstracts for the 20th International Sunflower Conference to be held June 20th to June 23rd, 2022 in Novi Sad, Serbia.

Following the postponing of the ISC to 2022, different events have been suggested by ISA Board members for 2021.

Due to the Global crisis caused by COVID-19, 20th ISC has been postponed to June 20th to June 23rd, 2022. The conference will be held in the same venue, Master Center, in Novi Sad, Serbia.

The Covid 19 crisis reminds us that the mankind is not always in a dominant position when interacting with nature.
