State of the World's Plants symposium

April<http://science.kew.org/state-worlds-plants-symposium>
In conjunction with the launch of a ground-breaking new report, Kew is
delighted to host the first international State of the World's Plants symposium.
Beginning in 2016, the annual State of the World's Plants report will provide
baseline data on important indicator metrics that will tell us how plants are
faring and how this is changing over time. As well as showing present status,
the report will be forward-looking with horizon scanning to identify important
emerging issues and research and knowledge gaps.
The symposium will provide a platform for scientists and policymakers to
discuss issues raised in the report. Global leaders will gather to address key
themes including:
-Threats to plant health
-Climate change
-Useful plants
-Invasive plants
-Protected areas
-Extinction risk.
Join us to take stock of the world's plant diversity, research and trends.
Call for poster abstracts
Poster presentations from delegates are welcome and will be accompanied by a
1-minute oral presentation. Prizes will be awarded for the best early career
researcher posters.
Deadline for abstracts: 13 April 2016.
Registration: £120
The registration fee includes attendance, lunch and refreshments on both days
and a drinks reception during the poster session on 11 May.
