The Botanical University Challenge is back!
After the University of Oxford team won BUC 2023, we are delighted to host the finals of BUC 2024. In February, teams from 28 universities and botanical institutions across the UK and Ireland competed in online heats for their place in the semi-finals and finals.
Now, on Wednesday 28 August, teams from University of Cambridge, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, University of Reading and University of York will go head to head and compete to be crowned the champions of BUC 2024.
This competition not only highlights the importance of plant science, but also fosters a community of budding botanists.
