UNIgreen Annual Conference

We are pleased to invite you to the UNIgreen Annual Conference, which will take place on 17 February 2025 in Almería, Spain, coinciding with the celebration of UNIgreen Day.

This event will bring together experts, and stakeholders to discuss key topics aligned with our Alliance’s core areas: Sustainable Agriculture, Green Biotechnology, and Environmental and Life Sciences.

As a tool of our Alliance to reinforce the Quadruple Helix Model – a collaborative approach involving business, universities, government, and civil society – the conference will provide a platform for strengthening these key partnerships. It will also feature a special presentation of the UNIgreen Alliance and the UNIgreen Joint Research Centre, offering a panoramic view of the latest developments within the Alliance.

For those unable to attend in person, the event will be available via online live streaming (but you also need to register).
