Plant biology conference, Oslo, October 2012

We cordially invite you to attend the First National Plant Biology Conference in Oslo on October 17 - 18, 2012. The scope of the meeting is to create a recurring meeting place for all aspects of plant biology research. The conference is organized by the Norwegian National Network for Plant Biology Research, a network representing all universities and relevant research institutes in Norway.














The first day focuses on the challenges for green biology in the near future followed by workshops with the following themes:

  • Climate change – effects on natural and agro-ecosystems
  • Plant molecular biology and biotechnology
  • Evolution and ecology
  • Marine and land-based bioproduction

The second day is devoted to presentations by young plant biology scientists and PhD students working at institutions in Norway. This is a continuation of a more than 10-year tradition of ‘Arabidopsis meetings’.

We would like to invite plant biology researchers and students to submit abstracts for oral or poster presentations at the conference (deadline: 19 September). The majority of oral presentations will be drawn from the abstracts submitted.

The conference will take place at Quality Hotel 33, Økern, Oslo.
