Thank You and Farewell!

To mark the end of the Bacterial Plant Diseases Programme on 31 March 2024 we have created this video of highlights. It features snapshots from our joint meetings and actvities, as well as some fantastic highlights from our 9 projects.

As we close we would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has been part of or supported the Bacterial Plant Diseases Programme and our projects.

Thanks to the Co-ordination Team including team leaders Sarah Green and Mariella Marzano, science leads Murray Grant and Joana Vicente, impact lead Laura Meagher, communications and events lead Sarah McLusky, former communications lead Geraint Parry, and admin lead Debbie Frederickson-Matika.

Thanks to everyone on the project teams, current and past (If we’ve missed anyone let us know!).
