PLoSWA) Program
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Organizing Committee
The 7th Plant Life of Southwest Asia Symposium will be held between June
25-29, 2007 at Anadolu University, Eskişehir, Turkey.
We shall be pleased to welcome you at our university in Eskişehir which is
situated at half way between İstanbul and Ankara
within easy reach of both cities. Eskişehir has a distinguished place in
history being the capital of Phrygia. The city of King Midas (Yazılıkaya),
Gordion where Alexander the great cut the famous knot to open up the way to
Asia for his armies and Pessinus (Ballıhisar) where the biggest temple of
Kybele the Goddess of Goddesses, the greatest goddess of antiquity in Anatolia
are not far from Eskişehir. Söğüt, the birth place of the Ottoman Empire which
reigned in three continents for six centuries is also very close by. Eskişehir
is also world famous for the best quality meerschaum, a semi-precious white
stone which is usually carved to make smoke pipes and necklaces. Kütahya the
home to best ceramic china works is only one hour ride from Eskişehir.
The rich and diverse flora of Eskişehir is due to its geographical location in
a transect of 200 m to 1829 m stretching from Sakarya valley, a microclimate
region enjoying Mediterranean climate through steppe vegetation up to Baba Hill
in Türkmen Mountain.
Above
all, Eskişehir is a city of higher education with universities and has a strong
industrial of agricultural base with high-tech industries taking harbour.
The excellent conference facilities at Anadolu University Campus are set in a
nice and green environment with lecture halls, hotels and restaurants on site.
The university is easily reached by the modern public transport system of
Eskişehir. A pleasant stop in downtown Eskişehir is cafes along the river
Porsuk which divides the city into two.
We sincerely hope that you will enjoy the environment as well as the high
quality lectures and posters. We look forward to seeing you in Eskişehir.
