Welcome Message
Dear colleagues,
I would like to warmly welcome you to the website of the 22nd AETFAT Congress which will take place from 21st – 25th March 2022 in Livingstone, the TOURIST CAPITAL of Zambia, home to one of the SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD!
The conference has been postponed twice due to the threat of COVID-19 and we are very optimistic that it will take place in 2022.
The overall theme of the conference is ‘Diversity and conservation of African plants: challenges and opportunities’ and the specific thematic areas have been selected to accommodate the current efforts and interests in African Botany. Registration is open for participants who are not going to make presentations but abstracts submission is closed until we have reviewed the situation in September 2021.
Looking forwards to meeting you in Livingstone.
Prof. Cyprian Katongo
Associate Professor of Genetics and Evolutionary Biology
