The congress is organized by the International Weed Science Society (IWSS), which is celebrating 40 years of activity. After six very successful congresses in Australia (1992), Denmark (1996), Brazil (2000), South Africa (2004), Canada (2008) and China (2012), it is a big challenge for both IWSS and local organizers to uphold a very high standard of congresses and satisfy all expectations of attendees. The organizing committee is truly glad to host this prestigious event in the Czech Republic - a small, pleasant country in Central Europe with rich history, beautiful countryside, and modern infrastructure. Everyone from around the world is invited to come and actively participate in this gathering, get updated, and enjoy the favourable climate and social activities that will flavour the event. The Congress will consist of many plenary lectures and concurrent sessions on a variety of topics, offering weed scientists from all over the world the opportunity to meet and present their research. We welcome not only weed scientists but also botanists, plant physiologists, geneticists, ecologists, agronomists, engineers and others, who interact with, or conduct activities related to weed science and bring cutting-edge views and innovative solutions. Because weeds and weed management are a source of many environmental and socio-economic issues, attendance of various stakeholders and decision makers is highly appreciated. ...

Researchers in legume taxonomy and systematics from around the world have joined forces to advance and propose a new updated family classification. In this context, the Legume Morphology Working Group (LMWG) was created primarily to contribute to the identification of morphological characteristics that are taxonomically and phylogenetically useful. The international symposium and workshop “Legume Morphology: Current Knowledge and Future Directions” is an important step towards achieving the general objectives of the LMWG: i) to support the work of the Legume Phylogeny Working Group (LPWG) towards developing the new classification of Leguminosae; ii) to evaluate how comparative morphological studies may help to better understand species groups, and poorly-resolved molecular phylogenetic relationships; iii) to identify gaps in our knowledge about legume morphology and coordinate efforts to fill these gaps; and, finally, iv) to promote consistency in legume morphological terminology for effective communication in the legume community, through an illustrated glossary including definitions that can be used widely as a standard reference. This event represents the first time that legume researchers focusing on legume morphology in and beyond South America reunite to advance legume systematics in a coordinated way. Furthermore, this event would be hosted by one of the countries with the highest legume diversity worldwide (221 genera and 2.800 species listed in the Flora of Brasil) and a long tradition of legume research. ...
