Dear colleagues,

 The December issue of Phytogen is out now and can be accessed HERE.

This is also a reminder that the deadline for submitting symposium proposals for the International Botanical Congress (IBC).

Two years ahead of the XX IBC, we are pleased to launch the Call for Symposia. We encourage researchers worldwide to submit symposium proposals on a variety of topics through the IBC website. The call for symposia will remain open until December 30th, 2022. Symposia constitute a very important component of the XX IBC, please submit a proposal and help shape the meeting’s program! Also note that diversity of speakers in terms of gender, career stage, and geography will be one of the criteria for selecting proposals. Symposium proposals that bridge two or more of the 31 proposed topics, including novel views and/or multi-disciplinary research perspectives, are especially encouraged.

Best regards,

The Organizing Committee of the XX IBC.

Call for symposia

Proposal submission now available! The scientific committee will evaluate symposium proposals based on potential audience interest, scientific quality, and diversity of speakers in terms of gender, career stage, and geography, among others. Symposium proposals that bridge two or more of the 31 proposed topics, including novel views and/or multi-disciplinary research perspectives are especially encouraged. We will make an effort to accept as many proposals as possible. Each symposium will last for 2 hours and will consist of six 20-minute oral communications (15 min presentations + 5 min Q&A). To maximize the interchangeability of participants among concurrent symposia, changes to this schedule will not be allowed. Deadline for symposium proposals 30 December 2022. Proposal Submission

Dear ASPS Members,

We look forward to seeing many of your at ComBio next week. The ASPS Annual General Meeting will be held during ComBio on Thursday at 6:10 pm and we encourage you to come along. The AGM agenda and various reports are now available on the ASPS website (www.asps.org.au). We are proposing small changes to the constitution which will be voted on at the AGM. These changes can be viewed on the website. Those members who cannot attend the meeting but would like to vote can organise a proxy if they wish. We are asking for nominations to fill vacant positions of the Council so look at the agenda if you are interested and contact our Secretary Kim Johnson. K.Johnson@latrobe.edu.au

Thanks, Peter Ryan
