Plants Day

We are joining the Fascination Plants Day international series of events with a really meaningful and fun family day, with demonstrations and games and the ever-popular stamp collecting adventure tour. Among others, the SZTE Department of Plant Biology, Department of Ecology, MTA SZBK Institute of Plant Biology, SZTE Interactive Nature Knowledge Center, Gabonakutató Nonprofit Kft. and civil organizations participate in the organization of the programs. We would like to draw attention to plant diversity, the extraordinary variety of plants and their importance in human life.

We warmly welcome the colleagues who graduated from the University of Szeged to the Biologist meeting organized for the first time on Plant Day, with the goal of creating a tradition, at which we would like to provide an opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with old classmates and colleagues.

Please register for participation and free entry on the SZTE Alma Mater page and at the event via the following link: https://uniszegedalumni.com/events/1467
