On May 12th, IBMP will host the 2025 EUCOR Plant Science Masters’ Symposium, a day of scientific exchange among students and early-career researchers from across the EUCOR network.
The program will include oral and poster presentations covering topics from plant biology and biotechnology to sustainable innovation and climate resilience.
This event will offer young scientists a valuable opportunity to present their work, network across borders, and engage in the vibrant plant science community of the Upper Rhine region.
