Botanica Sudalpina Conference is in its third edition. Created in 2017 at the initiative of the Botanical Society of Ticino, the current edition is organized by the Natural History Museum of Canton Ticino in collaboration with InfoFlora, the Brissago Islands Botanical Garden, the Natural Sciences Society of Canton Ticino, and Agroscope Cadenazzo, and thanks to the financial support of Innovabridge, Cortesi&Associati SA and the Association Botanic Garden Islands of Brissago.
The event aims to serve as a platform for meeting and exchange among researchers and anyone passionate about the flora in the southern side of the Alps. It also aims to promote collaboration, provide an overview of the current situation, and eventually outline priorities and future prospects.
The conference welcomes scientific work examining biogeography, conservation, diversity, ecology, evolution, physiology, floristics, and systematics of native and alien plant species (and lichens). Anyone interested in these topics can submit an abstract or simply be part of the audience.
The 2025 conference will offer a rich program: four satellite events will be offered on the day preceding the main conference, and local field trips will mark the end of the event.
Registration will open at the end of March 2025. Visit the conference’s official webpage and subscribe to our newsletter to stay tuned and get information about upcoming registration and abstract submission deadlines.
