Scientific Workshop of Argentine-Germany Cooperation |
Dear Guest,
welcome to the Scientific Workshop of Cooperation Argentine-Germany in
Plant Sciences. During these three days we seek to offer you a dynamic
and relaxed environment for scientific discussions at the heart of Buenos
Aires downtown. The aim of the proposed event was conceived to enhance
German-Argentine scientific cooperation from different perspectives of
the Plant Biology field.
