The Swiss Society of Plant Biology will hold its annual symposium «SwissPLANT» from 17 to 19 January 2024 in Les Diablerets.

The conference is open to group leaders/ PIs of the Swiss Plant Science Web. Each research group is encouraged to be represented by its group leader, senior scientists and their promising young group members.

SwissPLANT participants get an overview and discuss current research advances in plant sciences in Switzerland. The meeting is an excellent opportunity to interact and network with peer plant scientists.

The scientific program committee is composed of SPSW members of the University of Zurich:

• Cyril Zipfel, Department of Plant and Microbial Biology (lead)
• Simon Aeschbacher, Department of Evolutionary Biology and Environmental Studies
• Florian P. Schiestl, Department of Systematic and Evolutionary Botany
