Preparations are well under way for the 48th New Phytologist Symposium: Forest interactions, in October.

Forests are one of our most precious natural resources, providing habitat and sustenance for a myriad of organisms that interact with one another, and with abiotic factors, in complex and fascinating ways.

In addition to harbouring a wealth of biodiversity of organisms, forests also provide humans with crucial resources that benefit our health as well as providing critical economic and social value.

In this symposium, we will explore plant interactions in forest environments at all levels from micro- to macro-scales and across the whole spectrum of plant biology.

The full programme, including 53 speakers and over 70 poster presenters, is now available.

The New Phytologist Foundation is pleased to award over 20 travel grants and fee waivers to help facilitate attendance at the symposium. Providing travel grants and fee waivers for our symposia is just one of the ways The New Phytologist Foundation supports the research community.

Registration for the symposium is now full, and we have a waiting list to attend.
