'Plants under Global and Local Natural-Climatic and Human Impacts'

Petrozavodsk, Republic of Karelia, Russia
September 21-26, 2015

Dear colleagues,

The Republic of Karelia lies in the north-west of European Russia. It abuts the Arctic Circle in the north, is washed by Europe’s two largest lakes Ladoga and Onega in the south, and shares an extensive border with Finland in the west. In addition to location at the border, another geopolitical advantage for the Republic is the relative vicinity of St. Petersburg and Moscow.

Karelia is widely known both within Russia and outside it owing to a number of unique architectural, historical and cultural destinations, such as the Kizhi architectural ensemble, Valaam and Solovetsky monasteries, which are on the UNESCO World Heritage List and constitute Russia’s national heritage.

The Republic is rich in natural resources and famed for its national parks and nature reserves, including Kivach strict nature reserve, Paanajarvi, Kalevalsky and Vodlozersky national parks, as well as the Martial Waters spa resort, widely known in the country for its therapeutic mineral waters.

The capital of Karelia is Petrozavodsk, founded in 1703 by Peter the Great. It is now the Republic’s political, scientific and cultural centre. In Petrozavodsk one will find the Karelian Research Centre, several higher educational institutions, 5 theatres, Philharmonic Society, an organ hall, National Library, various museums, art galleries and exhibition centres.

The 8^th Congress of the Russian Society of Plant Physiologists will be hosted by the city’s major research institutions – the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Petrozavodsk State University.
