Objectives and methods: Agriculture faces significant challenges exacerbated by climate change and pollution. Our program addresses this need through a multifaceted approach. Theoretical sessions, conducted both online and in-person, in synchronous and asynchronous formats, explore the diverse facets such as plant physiology, development, and productivity in response to abiotic and biotic stresses induced by climate change and pollution. Hands-on experimental activities will enable participants to apply theoretical concepts. Furthermore, seminars by national and international specialists will enrich participants' understanding of cutting-edge research and emerging trends.
