Events
The New Phytologist Foundation supports plant science by reinvesting excess revenue from the publication of New Phytologist and Plants, People, Planet into events that support emerging and developing areas in plant science. More information about our various event types can be found below.

New Phytologist next generation scientists
New Phytologist next generation scientists is a series of events aimed at early career researchers, to provide the next generation of plant scientists a chance to share their work with their peers and outstanding international scientists in a stimulating, supportive and exciting environment. These events are co-funded by the New Phytologist Foundation and Wiley and are free to attend.
In 2024 New Phytologist next generation scientists will be held at Duke University, North Carolina, USA from 4-8 June.

New Phytologist Symposia
Since 1995, the internationally renowned series of New Phytologist Symposia have aimed to support emerging and key areas of research. Usually these meetings would be expected to extend over one to three days, with invited speakers and a maximum of 120 delegates. In this way we hope to provide an informal atmosphere for the stimulation and exchange of ideas and the building of collaborations.
We are pleased to be able to re-start Symposia. Booking is now open for the 45th NPS. Please check the event webpages for the latest updates or email np-symposia@lancaster.ac.uk with any queries.
Delegates at the Plants, People, Planet Symposium 2019, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
New Phytologist Workshops
New Phytologist Workshops aim to facilitate advances in plant science by bringing together a small number of scientists who wish to focus and brainstorm a particular topic or issue. The format is intentionally flexible to suit a range of projects, but this might, for example, include a working group that intends to focus on analysing new data or indeed analysing old data in the light of new techniques and planning the way forward.
