Want to design your own topical meeting or workshop? Have a particular research area, application or technology in mind to explore with our plant science community? Let's talk about how we might build a program around that, whether: online or in-person, for a small group or as part of a larger event, as a one-off workshop or as a year-long program. Contact us with your ideas.

Together with ASPB Conviron has developed a unique program aimed at Undergraduate and Graduate students studying Plant Biology – called the ASPB Conviron Scholars Program. Conviron has been delighted with the progress of this program and how easy it has been to work with ASPB in defining and implementing the awards. We are also pleased to see that this partnership is having a direct impact on plant biology students, which will help the scientific community at large and ultimately the future of our planet. --Richard Marusyk, Conviron

The IPMB Congress is a triennial meeting that has been gathering 1500-2000 plant molecular biologists from all over the world since 1984. IPMB2018 was held in Montpellier, France; IPMB2015 in Brazil (Iguazu), IPMB2012 in S.Korea (Jeju Island), and IPMB2009 in the USA (St. Louis). Each of the previous meetings demonstrates the importance to develop multidisciplinary approaches to address climate change and population increases. IPMB2021 will take place in Cairns, Australia, following up with an attractive scientific program highlighting high impact recent discoveries from basic molecular biology to crop biotechnology. The rich combination of plenary and parallel sessions will demonstrate the importance of plant molecular biology in developing  ecologically sustainable farming practices.  See IPMB2021.org for more information.

Workshops and activities hosted by Primarily Undergraduate Institutions; educators supporting each other. The Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUI) Section is the second theme-based section within the American Society of Plant Biologists. It was approved by the ASPB Council and Board of Directors in December 2017. This Section represents anyone interested or associated with Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs), either as faculty, undergraduate students, graduate students or post-docs interested in a career at a PUI, or individuals with collaborations or other connections with PUI institutions. Our goal is to expand PUI-associated activities and resources, with the hope of establishing a community, through ASPB, that supports and engages PUI-affiliated members on a year-round basis.
