HYBRID EVENT: You can participate in person at Valencia, Spain or Virtually from your home or work.

GPMB 2023 | HYBRID EVENT

Overjoyed with the success of our past editions, we are ecstatic to announce our forthcoming event entitled “8^th Edition of Global Conference on Plant Science and Molecular Biology” (GPMB 2023) which will take place as a Hybrid Event at Valencia, Spain and Virtually during the dates September 11-13, 2023.

This year the congress is themed at “Developing a Coherent Vision for Sustainability Incorporating Achievements in Plant Science.”

The plant science domain is committed to developing new and better crop varieties and is dedicated towards working for crop protection. Food innovation is not a recent phenomenon. In fact, for thousands of years, people have been trying to make food better. Plants and the biological systems that surround them are critical to the planet's and its inhabitants' future health. The future will see many more advancements in plant science that will be good for farmers, the environment, and our health.

GPMB 2023 frames our ability to conduct critical and far-reaching plant systems science research, which is pivotal to how we value participants and apply emerging technologies. Importantly, this congress aims to establish or maintain scientific collaborations, promote exchanges among various players in plant biology research, and build bridges between public research and private companies.

The central objective of the convention is to bring together plant biologists from across the world to deliver inspiring talks and share their most recent research findings. Given the abundance of talent in this domain, we believe that many young students and scientists will join the event to interact with novice researchers. Through plenary talks, keynote sessions, oral and poster presentations, this conference will serve to inspire young people to pursue research and to foster research collaborations.

We hope you will join us at the 8^th Plant Science Conference to take advantage of the presence of internationally renowned Scholars to exchange ideas and successfully collaborate.
