The Federation of European Societies of Plant Biology (FESPB) was established in 1978 and is now Europe’s largest and most comprehensive society representing plant scientists. Its mission is to promote research, education, and the exchange of knowledge among plant biologists, both within Europe and globally. FESPB also supports the dissemination of research findings through its associated international journals, including Journal of Experimental Botany, Journal of Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, Physiologia Plantarum, and Plant Biology.

The Hungarian Society for Plant Biology was founded in 1981 and currently has a membership of over 100 individuals. Among its members are experts from various fields, including biology, agronomy, viticulture, plant pathology, and other related disciplines.

The Society’s mission is to support and advance all areas of research and education related to native plants, to promote collaboration among research groups in Hungary, and to encourage the active participation of Hungarian plant scientists in both national and international organizations.
