This meeting celebrates the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Journal of Experimental Botany in 1950.

The history of the journal can be likened to the lifetime of a tree, germinating from the seed of an idea and growing into a mature form that supports a diverse community. The meeting will not only reflect these life stages – Beginnings, Growing and Maturity – but also look to the Future.

The meeting will bring together established and upcoming plant researchers, to build links between people and research communities, share our knowledge and inspire ideas to help the next generation meet these challenges.
