IOBC-WPRS is one of six Regional Sections of the International Organisation for Biological Control. IOBC was established in 1955 to promote environmentally safe methods of pest and disease control in plant protection.
Members of WPRS are individual scientists, governmental, scientific or commercial organisations from 24 countries of Europe, Mediterranean region and the Middle East. IOBC-WPRS encourages collaboration in promoting feasible and environmentally safe methods of pest and pathogen control. Find out more about the aims and objectives of IOBC-WPRS.
Members and representatives of IOBC-WPRS are shocked about the war in the Ukraine and the unimaginable suffering of the Ukrainian people. As a scientific community, IOBC-WPRS has always strictly focused on the science and has not become involved in politics. It also believes in close cooperation and harmony between the people of all countries. However, this situation, especially the war against civilians, is unprecedented in the lives of generations of Europeans, and makes it impossible to keep quiet.
