L’Institut CIHEAM Chania (Grèce) accueillera ce 27 juillet 2023, le 3ème rassemblement de ses ALUMNI. Fort du succès des éditions précédentes et de l'enthousiasme suscité auprès de la communauté CIHEAM, le rassemblement s’ouvre cette année à l'ensemble des ancien-nes étudiant-es des 4 Instituts du CIHEAM (Bari, Chania, Montpellier et Zaragoza).

A Garden of Peace with 21 varieties of olive trees was inaugurated on July 19 at the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania (MAICh) in Crete, Greece. The trees come from the 21 olive-growing countries that represent 95% of the world’s olive production. Viewed as a symbol of peace for millennia, olive trees are the sole focus of this new garden.
