The “PLant science in the ANThropocene” (PLANT) workshop will run from March 24 to April 4, 2025 at the Institut Pascal of the University Paris-Saclay (campus about 25 km south of Paris).
This 2-week workshop will address key challenges for the international Plant Science community, from basic sciences to socio-economic and environmental aspects including climate change. It will gather about 60 international scientists. The attendance will mix high stature senior scientists, together with numerous younger ones.
The program will focus on three themes:
– Theme I: “Frontiers in Plant Science fundamental research” (March 24-25-26)
– Theme II: “Feeding the planet: roles for Plant Science and associated socio-economic challenges” (March 27-28-31 and April 1)
– Theme III: “Plants as factories: from chemical compounds to mitigating climate change” (April 2-3-4)
Mornings will consist mainly of presentations by about 20 senior scientists, who will provide their vision of how to rise to those challenges, while the afternoon sessions will be devoted principally to brainstorming across generations on selected topics. This workshop will thus require input from all participants, the goals being the emergence of consensus community opinions and the specification of paths to success for several major challenges, be they at the level of training the next generation, guiding deciders of public policies, or connecting with the wider public on the importance of plant sciences in the Anthropocene. All these challenges are of high complexity and depend on several disciplines. Thus, beyond plant biologists and geneticists, some participants will come from agronomy, ecology, social and environmental sciences, economics, and also from chemical, physical and computational sciences.
Syntheses in the form of opinion papers will be drafted for publication.
APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN FOR PARTICIPATION IN THIS WORKSHOP
Applications deadline: Tuesday December 17, midnight
To know more and apply : https://indico.ijclab.in2p3.fr/event/10763/
Admission is restricted because of capacity constraints and the need to have the brainstorming sessions be effective. There are no registration fees and lunches and coffee breaks will be provided.
Participants must hold a PhD.
Note: There are no sessions during the week-end of March 29-30, you can use your free time to do some tourism!

13th International Conference of the French Society of Plant Biology, Aug 29-31 @ Montpellier
pdf-embedder url=”http://sfbv.fr/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/13th_SFBV_Congress.pdf”]
The 13th International Conference of the French Society of Plant Biology (SFBV) aims to bring together actors interested in the biological properties of photosynthetic organisms, mainly plants, as well as their applications in agriculture and bioenergy, taking into consideration important issues such as the global climate change and the protection of the environment. At the core of this conference, there is the promotion of the plant biology field, fundamental and applied, as a whole and in its diversity.
During this conference, the plant will be considered in its environment and in interaction with it. Recent work on:
Importantly, this event aims also to establish or sustain scientific partnerships, promote exchanges between the various players in the plant biology research field and develop bridges between public research and private companies. Promoting the participation of young scientists to this type of event is also a priority of the SFBV. To this end, scholarships will be offered to students to participate to 13th International Conference of the French Society of Plant Biology and prizes will be awarded to the best oral presentations and best posters.
