Carlow, Ireland in September 2010. The meeting, jointly hosted by Teagasc and the Agri-
Food and Biosciences Institute (Belfast), will be located at the Seven Oaks Hotel located close

This three day meeting will deal with all aspects of potato pathology with a special emphasis
on new threats to potato posed by changes in the behaviour of existing pests and pathogens
as well by new species. The meeting will also include an excursion to the Teagasc Crops

programme, followed by tour of the newly established VISUAL Centre for Contemporary Art

Research.
