PLEASE LOGIN TO SEE THE SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM

Welcome!

The Canadian Society of Plant Biologists (CSPB-SCBV) meets every year and is intended for students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty with an interest in plant science.

After thorough consideration, and in view of the non-resolved coronavirus pandemic worldwide, the CSPB-SCBV and the Organizing Committee have decided that the 2021 will be held in a virtual format. This decision ensures the continuity of knowledge exchange while at the same time protecting the health and wellbeing of conference participants.

CSPB2021 will include Plenary lectures, Ragai Ibrahim memorial symposium speakers, and oral and e-poster presentations within the frame of 12 concurrent sessions that will cover all aspects of plant science. We expect and encourage contributions from any area of plant science to be participating in this new format.

The virtual conference program presents the schedule in your time zone. All plenary and concurrent talks will be live followed by Q&A session with the speakers. Posters will be accompanied by short pre-recorded talks (3-minute pitch), and the poster sessions will include opportunities for live interaction with presenters. The concurrent session in its entirety will be available for on-demand viewing shortly after the conference is complete.

Authors are encouraged to submit their abstracts early if possible to allow for selection of oral presentations. The organizing committee will attempt to provide as much advance notice to presenters as possible.
