Dear colleagues,

The GreenSys 2025 - International Symposium on Advanced Technologies and Management for Sustainable Greenhouse Systems will be held in Almería (Spain) from June 22^th to 27^th 2025. It is our pleasure to host this conference and to invite you to attend.

This event is an opportunity to bring together scientists, researchers, technicians and other professionals to present their scientific and technological innovations in greenhouse horticulture and other controlled environment horticultural systems, to share their ideas and knowledge and discuss the state-of-the-art and future perspectives for the controlled environment horticulture sector with emphasis in the sustainability issues.

Almería is a modern city located in the historical Andalussian region of Spain. It has a long tradition in agriculture, starting during the transition from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age (4000-1800 b.C.) with the development of Los Millares complex, an archaological site located 20 kms north west of Almeria. Today, the 32,000 ha of plastic greenhouses provide 3.7 million tonnes of fruits and vegetable along the year, allowing Almería to be the first horticultural production area in Spain with more than 100,000 jobs.

Thanks to being the area of continental Europe with the greatest number of hours of sun along the year, Almería also hosts two scientific centers of international prestige. The Plataforma Solar de Almería, is the largest concentrating solar technology research, development, and test centre in Europe. The German-Spanish Astronomical Center at Calar Alto, located in the Sierra de Los Filabres at the north of Almeria, provides three telescopes to the study of the space.

Almería is famous for its gorgeous beaches, most of which are completely unspoilt, splendid and very quiet landscapes in the Almanzora Valley, and also for its gastronomy (the "tapas") and people who are friendly and known for their hospitality.

We believe that you will enjoy your stay in Almería, from the scientific sessions to the cultural and touristic programs that we will prepare for you.

We look forward to seeing you all during the next GreenSys2025 symposium.
