The BSPP hold a Presidential Conference annually which BSPP
members can attend for a reduced fee. The meeting always incorporates the PH
Gregory Prize which is awarded for the best presentation made by a young
scientist. BSPP also supports a number of other meetings, including 1-day meetings,
throughout the year. Suggestions of themes for these generally come from
BSPP members.
This list of meetings here is by no means comprehensive.
If you want a meeting publicised, please contact the webmanager.
Other meetings are announced in BSPP News and
Plant Pathology. Please contact the Programme Secretary
Dr Gerry Saddler, for further information.
Abstracts of some previous meetings including BSPP Presidential meetings and the International Congress of Plant Pathology held in Edinburgh
in 1998 are in the BSPP archives.

Potato Workshop
Scottish Agricultural Science Agency, Edinburgh, 2nd July 2008
This one-day workshop is organised by the BSPP, under the auspices of
the International Year of the Potato (www.potato2008.org),
with sponsorship from the Potato Council (www.potato.org.uk).
The workshop is designed to give an overview of current disease constraints
on potato production and to provide post-graduates and recent post-docs with
an opportunity to present either brief oral or poster presentations. A prize
will be awarded by the Potato Council. for the best oral presentation. Weather
permitting, delegates will be able to visit the potato training plots at
SASA's Gogarbank Farm. The plots are used for The Scottish Seed Potato
Growing Crop Inspection Course which takes place annually during the last 2
weeks of June and is designed to train inspectors in the recognition of the
30 most common potato varieties, genetic variants, and virus and bacterial
diseases (www.sasa.gov.uk/training/potatoes.cfm). |
Breakcrops Workshop
Processors and Growers Research Organisation, Thornhaugh, Peterborough, 24
June 2008
This one-day workshop is organised by the BSPP in association with HGCA
and PGRO. It is designed to give an overview of current and future threats
from diseases to the production of oilseed rape, field peas and faba beans.
Weather permitting, delegates will also be able to visit the PGRO field
plots which are located close to the main building. |
Presidential
meeting 2008: Cereal Pathogenesis
Queen Mary, University of London, 16th - 17th December 2008
This two-day meeting, organised jointly with and supported by HGCA
(www.hgca.com), is designed to provide an exciting and wideranging view of
our current understanding of cereal pathosystems. The talks will provide an
overview for an audience with a varied background in plant pathology, and
will cover current developments and future prospects in this important area.
Participants are encouraged to contribute poster presentations on any aspect
of plant pathology. The P. H. Gregory Prize will be awarded at the meeting
to the best presentation made by a post-graduate speaker and a special
registration rate for post-graduate members of the society is available to
encourage the widest possible involvement. Further details at
