The UV4Plants Bulletin is off-line
The Bulletin is at the moment off-line during an OJS server update. I expect to get the Bulletin back on-line by Monday, either running on the updated server software or restored from backup.

Grateful to UV4Plants: My Experience at the 21st Congress of European Society for Photobiology
Dear UV4Plants community, Thanks to the generous support of the UV4Plants bursary and the ESP, I had the opportunity to attend the 21st Congress of the European Society for Photobiology (ESP) (https://www.photobiology.eu/esp-2025-congress-bari), which took place in Bari (Italy) from August 24th to 28th, 2025. The event brought together researchers from across Europe and beyond, creating a lively space to share the latest advances in photobiology. Three sessions were particularly interesting for me: “Plant UV Photobiology” led by Gareth Jenkins, “UV radiation and climate effects through the lens of the Environmental Effects Assessment Panel” chaired by Janet Bornman, and “Precision Photobiology: Tailoring Light Environments in Controlled Environment Agriculture” driven by Matt Jones, because they connect directly to the core of my postdoctoral project at Örebro University (Sweden) (https://www.oru.se/personal/lara_garcia-campa). I also had the chance to present my own work with a talk during the congress, as the recipient of the ESP Best Ph.D Thesis Award i n the plant photobiology area. My project explores UV-B-mediated acclimation to high-light stress in Norway spruce and Scots pine, the two most economically important conifer species in Sweden and across Scandinavia. The feedback I received was very constructive and encouraging, and the discussions with experienced researchers…
21st Congress of European Society for Photobiology in Bari, Italy
The 21st Congress of European Society for Photobiology, which took place from 24 to 28 August 2025 in Bari, Italy, provided news on plant UV and light research. Two sessions were particularly interesting: “Plant UV Photobiology” led by Gareth Jenkins and “UV radiation and climate effects through the lens of the Environmental Effects Assessment Panel” chaired by Janet Bornman. UV4Plants Association supported Young Members with bursaries for attendance.
