BiPS Conference 2024

Join us for our inaugural Black in Plant Science (BiPS) Conference this Autumn.

Building on from our online activities of sharing profiles, publications and opportunities on our website and social media, this conference aims to continue our work of highlighting the contributions of Black researchers in UK Plant Science from the recent to the more distant past.  

The BiPS Conference 2024 also serves as a response to one of the many recommendations made by the members of our community that attended the Community Network Event in March 2024.  With activities ranging from keynote talks to creative workshops, you can expect fruitful discussions and time dedicated to connection, celebration, and cultivation of the next generation.  

This conference is welcome to all plant enthusiasts where there will also be sessions specially designed to provide safe spaces for Black communities to interact and build networks.
