European Plant Phenomics Symposium (EPPS)
We warmly welcome you to the European Plant Phenomics Symposium (EPPS), bringing together scientists from academia and industry as well as stakeholders dedicated to advancing plant phenotyping research and technology in Europe.
Submit your abstract towards our unique programme until 14July, here!
This symposium provides a collaborative and interactive platform for sharing the latest innovations, methods, and applications in phenotyping with the goal to address the pressing challenges of sustainable agriculture, climate resilience, and food security across Europe and beyond.
The EPPS will take place:
from 16th to 19th of September 2025
in the Plenary Building at the World Conference Center Bonn, formarly a seat of the the German Parliament from 1992 until 1999.
Join us for a unique opportunity to engage with experts, discover cutting-edge solutions, and explore new partnerships that will shape the future of plant science and agritech!
