Become Member of FESPB

Contribute to the strenghthening of the family of Plant Biologists in Europe

    The Federation of European Societies of Plant Biology (formerly the Federation of European Societies of Plant Physiology)  was founded in 1978 and today it is Europe 's largest and most widely representative society of Plant Scientists. The aims of FESPB are to advance research, education, and the exchange of information amongst plant biologists within Europe and beyond, and to support the publication of the results of research through its six affiliated international journals: Journal of Experimental Botany, Journal of Plant Physiology, Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, Physiologia Plantarum, Plant Biology and Functional Plant Biology. In pursuit of these aims, FESPB produces a regular electronic newsletter (FESPBNewsletter) that carries  information about FESPB and the activities of its members, in addition to job opportunities and studentships and announcements of forthcoming conferences, meetings and workshops arranged by other organizations. FESPBNewsletter is mounted on the web site along with a comprehensive range of other items such as a list of members' names and addresses organized by country and details of the various FESPB Committees.  

Every two years, FESPB organizes a large international Plant Biology Congress, located in a different European country. The last Congress, in 2008 was held in Tampere, Finland. The next FESPB Congress will be held in 2010 at the Congress Centre in Valencia, Spain.
