MontpellierRoot2017 - Montpellier Lateral Root Workshop 2017

The objective of the requested funding was to support the organization of the Lateral Root Workshop 2017 held in Montpellier. The workshop was centered around young scientists (PhD and post-docs) and we provided grants for their travel and accommodation costs (10 speakers out of 20). The funding was also used to organize a social event on the first evening of the meeting and for 2 days-organization (coffee breaks and lunches) for 64 persons. This event allowed us to maintain a high level of interactions between the participants, and to promote Montpellier as a centre of excellence for research on Root System Development.
