Plants and People Conference

Plants and People Conferences are organized by our PhD researchers and take place at the Max Planck Campus in Potsdam-Golm every other year. The next conference will take place in 2027.

Our inaugural conference in 2011 established the idea to combine topics in plant science with wider aspects of science and research that are important for young scientists. This is reflected in our unique choice of speakers – we bring together scientists from different areas of science who may not meet at conferences that deal with specific research topics. 

Our conference is open to all who are interested. Our primary audience are scientists at the start of their career – PhD researchers, young postdocs and Master students. Nevertheless, everyone who would like to join a Plants and People conference is invited to attend.

You can find more information on the Plants and People website. We hope to see you at future Plants and People conferences!
