Safeguard for Agricultural Varieties in Europe
SAVE Meeting 2020 canceled
Dear colleagues and friends of SAVE Foundation
The SAVE Board was discussing a longer time wether or not the SAVE meeting 2020 can take place. The conclusion is that the situation is still not really safe and we cannot be sure, if the European possibilities for crossborder travelling will be given in September. Therefore the SAVE meeting for 2020 is canceld. If there are any urgent questions to discuss please contact the SAVE network office in Wageningen: Nonja Remijn office@save-network.com.
Stay healthy, and see you again in person latest in 2021!
