BSPP Plant Health Club
‘BSPP Plant Health Club’ online meetings.
In 2021 we began holding a series of meetings to facilitate open discussions and networking opportunities focusing on a different theme each time. The meetings are primarily targeted at PhD students and early career researchers, but everyone is welcome. Dates and times of meetings will vary to enable as many people as possible to attend at least some of our meetings.
We would welcome any suggestions of themes and/or speakers for future meetings, and comments on our previous meetings – please email admin@bspp.org.uk.
Each meeting will be approximately 60-90 minutes, following a similar running order:
- Welcome and introduction by BSPP Chair and Co-Chair
- Talks by invited speakers
- Break-out discussions
- Summary and actions
30 minutes at the end of every session for informal chat and networking.
Attendance is free. BSPP membership is not a requirement.
Meetings are recorded and are available for BSPP Members here
