New Year’s greetings from President – Jérémy Lothier

Dear friends, colleagues,

On behalf of the SFBV, I would like to wish you all happiness and success for 2026.

This year, we will have the pleasure of meeting again at the 15th SFBV conference, which will be held in Toulouse from August 24 to 26, 2026. Registration will open in early March with very attractive rates for members of our society. Our biennial conference is an opportunity to bring our community to life. It offers the chance to strengthen the bonds that unite us while participating in an event of high scientific quality. Once again, we will encourage the participation of junior researchers by offering them SFBV travel grants.

In 2026, we will also continue to offer administrative and financial support for the organization of your conferences, the financing of your travel, and the encouragement of scientific activities by young researchers. To benefit from this, please contact the secretariat (secretariat@sfbv.fr) and visit our website: http://sfbv.fr/. I also invite all young doctors to apply for the SFBV-Académie d’Agriculture de France thesis prize (https://sfbv.fr/prix-de-these/).

Of course, all these initiatives are only possible thanks to your membership fees and your trust. I therefore encourage you to renew your membership and promote the SFBV to your colleagues in order to encourage new memberships and donations. Together, let’s continue to grow and develop our wonderful community.

Sincerely,

Jérémy Lothier
