Welcome to the Plant Science
Summer School Angers
“Plant health and Quality”
29/06/2015 – 10/07/2015
We are very delighted to welcome you in France for the 2015 Plant Science Summer School
Angers.
For the first time, we will be offering participants summer courses on vegetal research with
the participation of international researchers from our partner universities and institutions.
Around 15 students from all over the world will attend the 1 st edition of this Summer School.
The program will show the links between plant health and quality. Topics to be covered
include different research fields: plant defense stimulation, plant genomics, fungal foliar
disease, genomic and bacterial diagnostic, weed control in intercropping systems,
metabolomic and medicinal plants, fruit production and development.
Visits are included: different research labs and facilities, as well as a botanical garden and
the National federation of seed multiplication farmers.
In addition to the scientific program, cultural and social activities will be organized so that
all participants can get to know the city, the country and each other!
We hope you will enjoy the summer course. Welcome to the vegetal world!

Visit of the laboratory LSV-ANSES
(National Laboratory of Plant health)
1 st July 2015
The ANSES Plant Health Laboratory (LSV), located in Angers
at the heart of a “competitiveness cluster with global reach
in plant sciences", today inaugurated its new building. This
has been made possible thanks to funding from France's
Ministry of Agriculture, the EU's Regional Development Fund
(managed by the Prefecture of the Pays de la Loire Regional
Council), the Maine et Loire Departmental Council and the
Greater Angers Loire Métropole Area, and will provide the
working conditions needed to enable this National Reference
Laboratory to maintain the scope and reliability of its work.
It offers staff optimum working conditions while blending
perfectly into the local environment. The new scientific area
will be able to take in young researchers for training and
welcome foreign delegations or staff from other national or
European laboratories.
Just like humans and animals, plants can also be the victims
of a range of pathogens (viruses, bacteria, parasitic worms, fungi), as well as of insect pests and
invasive plants, with serious consequences both on the economics of crop production and on
preservation of biodiversity. As the National Reference Laboratory for Plant Health, the LSV
develops analytical and screening methods and also undertakes research into regulated or
emerging harmful organisms, to contribute to risk management in plant health. It provides
technical and scientific support to government departments and participates in international
scientific partnerships related to its missions. It coordinates a network of laboratories accredited
to carry out official analyses concerning regulated diseases and organizes inter-laboratory
proficiency tests to guarantee the network's reliability. The laboratory covers all disciplines
relative to biological risks to plant health: virology, bacteriology, mycology, GMOs, nematology,
entomology and invasive plants, as well as tropical pests and pathogens. It coordinates expert
appraisals and risk assessment within its field of competence. It has a workforce of 80 people,
spread
over
six
separate
sites.
The headquarters of the LSV are in Angers, at the heart of a “competitiveness cluster with global
reach in plant sciences". This site, in close proximity to INRA, GEVES (1), INH (2), the
Technopole House and the future Institut du Végétal, enables the laboratory to forge
partnerships with both regional and national research institutes (INRA, universities, the doctoral
school, GEVES-SNES, FREDON (3), professional organisations, etc.).
As a partner of the Végépolys competitiveness cluster, the laboratory is on the technical
committee that is developing the “Plant Campus”, a project to bring all the existing research
teams together to form a joint research unit under the Institut Fédératif de Recherche's QUASAV
unit (4), in order to pool resources, develop partnerships and increase efficiency.

WHAT TO DO IN ANGERS
Shopping
• Rue Toussaint
Between the Castle and the cathedral are many
antique shops and bookshops… a bargain hunter’s
paradise.
• Rue des Lices
Guaranteed chic and charm!
• Rue Lenepveu
A typical pedestrianized shopping street with shops for all tastes and budgets.
• Rue Saint-Laud
A shopping street by day which by night comes alive, for unforgettable evenings out!
Pubs, bars and nightclubs – plenty to keep you going until dawn!
• Boulevard Foch
The main street of the city center, flanked by restaurants, brasseries and shops.
Parks and gardens
• Le Jardin des Plantes
These gardens, laden with history, were the city’s first botanical gardens. Today the
park’s 4 hectares are laid out in an English-style garden dating from 1904-1905. Its
footpath, waterfalls and statues give it a serene and romantic atmosphere, a perfect
antidote to the bustle of the city. Things to see: a remarkable collection of ancient
trees, the aviary and the small animal enclosure.
• Le Jardin du Mail
These gardens came into being around the 17th century, born of the « Jeu du Mail », a
now obsolete French lawn game. The fountain, by Barbezat, and the large pond (1855)
make up the central axis where the geometrically-arranged paths converge. The paths
flaked by greenery, the flower beds and the exceptional floral displays in summer are
worth a visit.
• Le Parc de l’Arboretum
Covering an area of nearly 7 hectares, the Parc de L’Arboretum consists of four public
gardens dedicated to horticulture and the spontaneous flora indigenous to the Angers
area. Combining the art of gardening with fine arts, the various landscapes
incorporate a collection of bronze sculptures by the artist Francois Cacheux.
• Le Parc de Balzac
A perfect place to stroll along the banks of the Maine near the city center, the
designers of this park were inspired by the marshes of the Poitou region to compose a
partial network of canals that have created a nature reserve of great ecological
diversity.
