Welcome from theOrganizing Committee
Dear colleagues,
We are delighted and deeply honored to announce that the next International Botanical Congress -the20th IBC- will take place in Madrid (Spain) on the following dates:
Nomenclature Section, 15–19 July 2024
Congress, 21–27 July 2024
The IBC takes place every six years under the supervision of the International Association for Botanicaland Mycological Societies (IABMS). The 20th was scheduled to take place in 2023 in Brazil after Shenzhen’s (China) 2017. Unfortunately, the difficult situation caused by the worldwide pandemic has madeimpossible to organize this big event in Brazil in 2023.
Rooted in the tradition of Systematic Botany, the IBCs have enlarged their scope over more than acentury to become an integrated forum for knowledge on the plant and mycological world. Please takea look at the broad scope of topics that we hope to include in this upcoming IBC in this site.
The Congress will include plenary lectures, concurrent symposia -for which we will ask for proposals in
Spring 2022-, posters, exhibitors, as well as short courses and workshops.
We wholeheartedly invite all the botanical community worldwide to come to participate in the 20th IBC
and enjoy, in Madrid, the privilege of sharing research, knowledge and experiences with colleagues andfriends from all over the planet. We will make efforts to provide the best environment for such a thrilling
experience.
A suite of post-meeting excursions will be offered for attendees to visit places of botanical and culturalinterest. See the preliminary list in this site.
We look forward to seeing you all in Madrid in July 2024.
Kind regards,
The Organizing Committee of the 20th IBC

Welcome to MadridWith historical category of villa, Madrid is the capital of the State and of the Community of Madrid. Is
the most populated municipal area in Spain, making it the second most populated city in the European
Union, as well as its metropolitan area.
The city of Madrid is located in the central area of the Iberian Peninsula, a few kilometers north of the
Cerro de los Angeles, the geographical center of the Peninsula. The geographical and climatic context
of Madrid is that of the Southern Subplateau, within the Central Plateau. The city is located a few kilometers from the Guadarrama mountain range and hydrographically it is located in the Tajo river basin.
Most of the tourist sites in Madrid are located inside the so-called central almond (the area surroundedby the M-30 highway), mainly in the districts of Centro, Salamanca, Chamberí, Retiro and Arganzuela.
As the capital of Spain, it houses the headquarters of the Spanish Government and its Ministries, theSpanish Parliament (Congress and Senate), the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court, as well as
the official residence of the King and Queen of Spain and the President of the Government.
It is an influential cultural center and has museums of international reference. The Prado Museum, theMuseo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and the Thyssen-Bornemisza, are the three of the mostvisited museums in the world. In 2021, the Paseo del Prado and the Buen Retiro, denominated as thelandscapes of arts and sciences were included in the list of World Heritage Sites by Unesco.

IFEMA MADRID
Located in its current location since 1991, Recinto Ferial has 240,000 m2 distributed along 13 halls, 85
rooms, 2 convention centres and outdoor areas.
The North Convention Centre has an auditorium for 1,100 people and 18 additional rooms; the South
Convention Centre offers another auditorium with capacity for 600 people; we also have 45 smallrooms located in the mezzanine of the halls and 2 catwalks.
At IFEMA MADRID we have a very clear objective, to be a place to connect. To connect interests, challenges, concerns, knowledge, hobbies and passions. To do this, we have been designing environments
for 40 years in which people, companies and society meet and share interests and challenges.

Multifunctional and flexible
Located next to halls 9 and 10 in the North access, it has an area of 10,000 m2 and has a total of 20
rooms, 18 of which are located on the first floor. It is accessed via a large hall with natural light, whose
size makes it the ideal space for exhibitions of 1800 m2 gross or 468 m2 net (space for stands) or tooffer catering services during the event. The North Auditorium (N103 + N104 + stage) has capacityfor 1,100 people. Rooms N101 + N102 and N105 + N106 are multifunctional. Separating panels allow
events from 100 to 480 people to be hosted. The remaining 12 rooms (N107 to N118), with capacities of
70 to 200 people, can be combined in sets of two, allowing better adaptation to the needs of the event.
On the second floor, the Colón and Neptuno rooms are also equipped with large outdoor terraces.

Isabel Sanmartín
My research focuses on studying the evolutionary and ecological processes behind general patterns of biodiversity distribution, with special focus on endemism, rarity and geographic disjunctions. We used a
combination of phylogenetic and genomic data, geographic databases, fossil evidence, paleoclimatic reconstructions, and morphologicalcharacterization. Our methodological approach employs the BayesianInference framework to integrate these different sources, and associated uncertainty. My latest projects tackle the role of climatic extinction on the African flora, and their effect at community levels.

Suhua Shi
School of Life Sciences at Sun Yat-Sen University, China. Professor Shi’s research focuses on adaptive evolution and speciation inplants with a particular emphasize on the interface of divergent environments. The ~ 80 extant species of mangroves are such examples. The aim of her research is to understand the molecular basis ofadaptation and phenotypic variation by using genomic techniques.
She is particularly interested in the evolutionary convergence among
independently evolved species in the same biological community,
as well as geographical mechanisms of speciation revealed by mangroves.

Tanja Slotte
Professor of Ecological Genomics at Stockholm University, Sweden.
Her research focuses on the evolutionary causes and genomic consequences of plant mating system shifts and the genetic architectures of phenotypic polymorphisms under balancing selection. For
these purposes, she combines de novo genome assembly with genetic, gene expression and population genomic analyses and simulations, working mainly on non-model plant systems suitable forstudying plant mating system evolution.

This workshop is a practical, hands-on session that will focus on educating and upskilling botanists tocontribute to Wikidata.
Wikidata is an open knowledge base of structured linked data, and is a sister project to Wikipedia andWikimedia Commons. Wikidata provides stable identifiers (QIDs) for every Wikidata item representing
entities such as places, people, objects, institutions, taxa, etc. In addition, it functions as a hub for otheridentifiers thus linking to external biodiversity data sources, facilitating the creation of open linked data infor the benefit of us all.
We will provide an opportunity for workshop attendees to learn how to edit Wikidata and create new content, assist attendees in improving their Wikidata editing and querying skills, and encourage and empower
them to continue to contribute to Wikidata. We will also give attendees practical skills and tips that they
can use immediately to “Wikidata-ify” the International Botanical Congress while attending conference
sessions.
Specifically, workshop attendees will gain practical knowledge and skills in Wikidata in how to: Create

Public Exhibitions“Life 4 Pollinators”
The travelling exhibition “Life 4 Pollinators” has been realised by the University Museum Network of the
University of Bologna as part of the European project “Life 4 Pollinators.
LIFE4POLLINATORS (LIFE18 GIE/IT/000755) - Involving people to protect wild bees and other pollinators in the Mediterranean - aims to improve the conservation status of pollinators by tackling themain driver of all causes of their decline: the level of awareness of key stakeholders and the generalpublic. The project involved 7 partners AlmaMater UNIBO (coordinator), CREA-AA, UAEGEAN, UVIGO,
CSIC-IMEDEA, EZAVOD, Confagricoltura Emilia Romagna from Italy, Greece, Spain and Slovenia. The
actions developed were trainings, lectures, workshops, information and education activities using thecitizen science approach, aimed at changing the behaviour of farmers, urban managers and planners,
nature conservationists and competent authorities.
The project lasted 5 years and produced a huge amount of interesting and beautiful material in different
languages, which can be found at https://life4pollinators.eu/“Living Soil”“Living Soil” is an educational exhibition that aims to explore the biodiversity of mini-ecosystems present in biological soil crust through art. The art installation showcases the diversity of enlarged moss,lichen and liverwort species, allowing visitors to explore their growth patterns from a new perspective.
The project invites the public to pause their fast-paced life to discover a tiny world full of life and beauty
that we often overlook in our daily lives. It seeks to raise awareness about the importance of mosses,
lichens and liverworts for terrestrial ecosystems, highlighting their crucial role in regulating vital cycles
and protecting soils against erosion and degradation.
Living Soil was developed during the “Artists at the Campus” residency at the Autonomous Universityof Madrid, Spain, as a joint work between professor Nagore García Medina (Department of Biology,
Science Faculty, UAM) and a visual artist and researcher Ana Zdravković, with contributions from professors Belén Estébanez and Isabel Draper, predoctoral researcher Manuel Molina, and student Sergio
Ibarra.

161Esparto grass, much more than a plant
Esparto grass (Stipa tenacissima L.=Macrochloa tenacissima (L.) Kunth) is an Ibero-Maghrebianendemism that grows in semi-arid or dry areas, in predominantly calcareous soils. Many esparto
grasslands are the result of human management over millennia and have even been planted sinceancient times. The oldest esparto basketry found in Europe dates back to around 9,500 years ago
in the Cueva de los Murciélagos (Granada).
In Europe, esparto is the species used in basketry with the highest diversity of techniques. It has
been essential in Spanish daily live, since many human needs have been satisfied with these artifacts. Today the art of esparto weaving has shifted towards creating decorative objects and serving
