2017 ASHS Annual Conference

Scientists in horticulture and allied professions often find it challenging to secure funding to conduct short or long-term projects in the Greater Middle East.

However, numerous other funding streams exist but often go untapped by academicians. Examples of less orthodox funding methods and countries in which such projects materialized will be highlighted.
