X International Artichoke Symposium

The X International Symposium on Artichoke, Cardoon and their Wild Relatives will take place from 12 to 15 March 2019 in Orihuela, Alicante, Spain under the auspices of the International Society of Horticultural Sciences (ISHS).

This international symposium will be an excellent opportunity to bring together researchers, academics, technicians and other experts from the public and private sectors involved in the field of artichoke, thistle and its wild relatives. The symposium will consist of plenary sessions and poster exhibition sessions, offering an interesting high-quality program with renowned speakers, as well as an attractive social program.

The venue of the Symposium will be in the city of Orihuela, capital of the Vega Baja region, which represents the range of colors typical of the Spanish Mediterranean. Orihuela is the birthplace of the poet Miguel Hernández, and one of the main tourist destinations in Valencia.

In the program we also have the opportunity to visit artichoke fields with breeding programs, as well as the processing industry.
