The Botanical Society of China and the Shenzhen Municipal
Government invite you to Shenzhen, China, in July 2017 to
participate in the XIX International Botanical Congress (IBC2017).
We are eager to welcome plant scientists from around the world to
the 2017 IBC for an intellectually stimulating and socially
memorable occasion.
All prospective participants are invited to submit a proposal for
a general symposium that falls into one of the six broad themes.
Submissions will be accepted until December 31st,
2015. Proposed symposia that bridge two or more themes are
welcomed and encouraged. Each symposium consists of six
presentations, with each being 20 minutes. If there is a need for
more than six presentations for some very broad topics, please
consider proposing the symposium with two sessions, such as Plant
Tree of Life I, and Plant Tree of Life II, each with six
speakers.
Once a proposed general symposium is accepted by the Organizing
Committee, it will be announced on the congress website and will be
open to participants who wish to propose an oral presentation in the
congress.
The organizer(s) of each symposium may propose up to four
speakers for each symposium and then choose the additional two from
the abstracts submitted through the congress website. In addition to
the Plenary Lectures and the Keynote Lectures, each participant may
be involved in no more than two symposia either as an organizer or
as a speaker.
Detailed instructions can be found here and
send your proposal to the Congress Scientific Committee. Should you
