3rd Global Soil Biodiversity Conference (GSB 2023)

Dublin, Ireland

 

3rd Global Soil Biodiversity Conference (GSB 2023), 13-15 March 2023, Dublin, Ireland  (event logo)

The Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, launched in 2011, is a major stakeholder in the development of soil biodiversity policy, and the accelerating scientific knowledge underpinning the vast biological diversity contained in terrestrial soils worldwide. Among its various activities, the GSBI launched the Global Soil Biodiversity Conference held in Dijon (France, 2014) and more recently in Nanjing (China, 2017). The 3rd Global Soil Biodiversity Conference to be held in Dublin (Ireland) in 2023 will expand on previous GSBI conferences and convene the world's leading experts in this interdisciplinary field of soil biodiversity science to present and discuss recent advances addressing the urgency of meeting global challenges which link to human, animal and plant health and a more sustainable world. The conference will be the top meeting for all scientists, technologists, experimentalists and modellers, students and practitioners working on any aspects of soil biodiversity science and its linkages to the functioning of our global biosphere. The conference will provide the latest updates on soil biodiversity research and knowledge for scientists, policy makers, regulators, environmental agencies, conservationists, land user managers and other stakeholders in the sustainable use and conservation of soil biodiversity.

4th International Congress on Biological Invasions (ICBI2023)

4th International Congress on Biological Invasions (ICBI2023), 1-4 May 2023, Christchurch (Ōtautahi), New Zealand (Aotearoa), event logoChristchurch (Ōtautahi), New Zealand (Aotearoa)

 

The International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds (ISBCW) was first organised in 1969, and has been the most important international meeting for weed biocontrol scientists since.

During these meetings scientists from all over the world get together to exchange advances in the discipline, renew ties of friendship and collaboration, and discuss the way forward.

The ISBCW takes place every four years, and this is the first time it will take place in South America.

Ninth International Conference on Management of the Diamondback Moth and Other Crucifer Insect Pests

Ninth International Conference on Management of the Diamondback Moth and Other Crucifer Insect Pests, 2-5 May 2023, Phnom Penh, CambodiaPhnom Penh, Cambodia

 

The conference is designed to provide a common forum for the researchers to share their findings in bio-ecology of insect pests, host plant resistance, biological control, pesticides and insect resistance management on crucifer crops and integrated pest management. About 100 – 150 researchers worldwide are expected to participate and present research papers.

Scientific Sessions:

  1. Diamondback moth and other crucifer pests: The global challenge in a changing climate
  2. Biology, ecology and behavior of diamondback moth and other crucifer pests: What's new?
  3. Insect plant interactions, host plant resistance and chemical ecology of crucifer pests and their natural enemies
  4. Insecticide resistance and management in crucifer pests: the on-going challenge
  5. Biological and non-chemical methods of management of crucifer pests (including organic agriculture)
  6. Genetic approaches to manage crucifer pests: transgenic plants, CRISPR, RNAi, and genetic pest management
  7. Constraints and opportunities to the sustained adoption of integrated pest management (IPM) for the management of DBM and other crucifer pests

ICPP2023: 12th International Congress on Plant Pathology

Lyon, France


ICPP2023: 12th International Congress on Plant Pathology, 20-25 August 2023, Lyon, France  (event logo)
Plant pathologists and plant health researchers from around the world will meet to discuss their latest research as well as current and future issues facing plant health experts. Our host, the French Phytopathological Society, has set an exciting and challenging theme for the congress, "One Health for all plants, crops and trees". This topic promises to provide a broad platform for talks, posters, and discussions that consider the integral nature of plant health with human, animal and environmental health.

The One Health concept is a worldwide strategy for expanding interdisciplinary collaborations and communications in all aspects of health care for humans, animals and the environment. Plant Health and Plant Pathology are however usually not included into this definition. ICPP2023 will promote the integration of Plant Health & Plant Pathology into the One Health concept!
