After our successful meeting in 2014 we want to continue the coordinated efforts. The aim of the
Second International Boraginales meeting is to coordinate research efforts, develop new and
strengthen existing collaborations, increase the exchange of material and information.
Major Topics
Taxonomy – Systematics – Biogeography – Ecology – Phytochemistry
Venue
The Nees-Institut für Biodiversität der Pflanzen is located in the district of Poppelsdorf in Bonn,
next to the Botanical Garden of the University of Bonn and the Poppelsdorf palace. The working
sessions will be held at the Nees-Institute, lunch will be served in the Botanical Gardens, free access
