The national societies for horticultural science in Europe decided to cancel their national symposia in 2008 in favour of the First Symposium on Horticulture in Europe (Vienna, 2008). Therefore, the symposium of the BeNeLux Society for Horticultural Science that was planned to be held in Gembloux, autumn 2008, was postponed to 3 April 2009.
The symposium that was planned to take place in Luxembourg, autumn 2009, has been postponed to the spring of 2010.
