Conferences and Meetings on Botany

The Association of Applied Biologists (AAB)

The Association of Applied Biologists (AAB) has teamed up with the British Ecological Society and Royal Entomological Society to deliver a 3-day conference “Shaping the Future for Pollinators: Innovations in Farmed Landscapes”. Pollinators play a vital role in maintaining both semi-natural and agricultural ecosystems and healthy populations bolster food security, livelihoods and social wellbeing. With evidence that many species of pollinators are in decline, their conservation and management is of great public, economic and political interest. As a result, the ecology and conservation of managed and wild pollinators is a rapidly growing field of research, alongside the study of their associated ecosystem services. This conference aims to determine how we can shape farmed landscapes to make them resilient to future challenges such as climate change. Delegates will explore the impact of agricultural practices at the farm and landscape scale on pollinator behaviour, ecology and the delivery of ecosystem services. Talks and discussions not only to share current best practices on the sustainable management of pollination services, but explore how novel innovations can create new opportunities and address future risks. This conference aims to bring together researchers, practitioners and policymakers to debate recent advancements in the field of pollinator research; and also to go beyond ecological research to explore emerging technologies within the field. Based just 15 minutes from both London and the historic city of Windsor, delegates will be able to deepen their understanding of the topics, expand their networks, and enjoy the nearby attractions on the approach to Christmas. A public ‘Myth Busting’ event will held locally to raise awareness and increase public understanding of pollinators and pollination services.

Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research (GA)

Medicinal plants and natural products offer unique opportunities in the context of healthcare and drug development. The Congress of the Society for Medicinal Plant and Natural Product Research works towards a healthier life for humans and animals through developing a more evidence-based use of medicinal natural products, promotes research and development in the broad field of natural products (see research areas below) and provides a platform for exchange of knowledge and ideas related to medicinal natural products (including, for example, our annual conferences, workshops, webinars…) Main fields of scientific interest are medicinal plants and natural product research. They include biochemistry, biosynthesis and biotechnology of natural products, plant cell and tissue culture, breeding and cultivation of medicinal plants, pharmacognosy, metabolomics, natural product chemistry and analytical studies, biological and pharmacological activities, pharmacokinetic investigations and clinical studies, formulation and delivery systems of natural products, quality control of raw materials, extracts and preparations, ethnopharmacology, phytotherapy, animal healthcare and veterinary medicine, and all related fields to basic and applied research on medicinal plants and natural products.
