15 November 2023 – 16 November 2023
Hybrid Event hosted at the The Stuart Hotel in Derby, UK
The IPM Innovation Cycle involves inputs from four distinct yet interconnected sectors: Farmers/Agronomists, Academic Researchers, Industrial Researchers and Regulators. However practical experience suggests that there are unfortunate disconnects between these parts of cycle.
This event we will bring together participants from across the Innovation Cycle, each of whom are working towards the ultimate aim of developing novel modes of plant protection.
The annual AAB IPM and Biocontrol meeting has a strong reputation as providing an opportunity for early career professionals to present their research. We will maintain this focus whilst bringing together those involved in the IPM industry, government regulators and agronomists/ farmers who actually have the responsibility to maintain agricultural and horticultural productivity.
Abstract Submission
We invite submission of abstracts from anyone involved in the IPM Innovative Cycle in order to provide either an oral or poster presentation at this event. These will join a selection of invited speakers who are experts in different areas of the innovative cycle. This event will include discussion sessions that will allow delegates to explore best practice to increase collaboration between members of the IPM innovative cycle.
We will assembly the meeting sessions, oral and poster presentations from submissions received from both in-person and online delegates. Abstracts should be submitted by September 15th 2023. We hope to announce the meeting schedule with oral and poster presentations by the end of September 2023.
