From October 18–20, 2023, members of the IPM Popillia consortium came together in Heraklion, Greece, for the yearly General Assembly of the IPM Popillia project. The event provided the possibility of gaining insight into and learning about the progress and developments made in the different interdisciplinary work packages of the project. ​

At the same time, the XII European Congress of Entomology, ECE2023, was held in Heraklion. It was wonderful to meet and engage in conversations with numerous entomologists. Moreover, it provided us with a valuable opportunity to showcase our work within the IPM Popillia project.In the gallery, you will find some impressions of this special weekend. Many thanks to all attendees; it was a blast for all of us.
