It was also agreed, before the end of 2024 and following an invitation from the Greek minister, that a visit of officials from the Academy to Greece would take place with the aim of enhancing the existing cooperation with both supervised bodies of the Ministry (Benaki Phytopathological Institute and ELGO DEMETER), as well as with the country’s academic institutions.
