Selection criteria

Applicants will be selected based on the scientific excellence and quality of their abstract. Applicants are encouraged to present unpublished material. Priority will be scientific excellence and innovative approaches within plant systems biology. We also particularly encourage applications from other systems biologists who might want to move into the plant field.

The organisers will collaborate to make the selection to maximize diversity and inclusivity.

All participants are asked to fully engage with the whole programme, enabling the best environment for networking, developing new collaborations and extending the state-of-the art for systems biology research. We will offer prizes for the best early career talks and posters, as at the 1st iPSB.

Spaces are limited (we have a maximum of 90 participants). Participants will be selected for oral presentations and posters and then on the basis of first-come-first-served.
