4th PhD Meeting in Plant Biology
The 4th PhD Meeting in Plant Biology (4PMPB) is an international meeting for PhD students and young postdocs that will be held in Murcia (Spain) in the morning 1st of July as an extra activity of the Iberian Plant Biology-2025 (IPB2025): XXVI Meeting of the Spanish Society of Plant Biology and XIX Spanish Portuguese Congress of Plant Biology.
4PMPB is a biennial meeting organized by Spanish and Portuguese PhD students, with the main goal of bringing plant biology closer to young researchers and satisfying their scientific interest in this topic.
PhD students and young postdoctoral researchers (<2-3 years after finishing their PhD) will have the opportunity to present their work and build networks with other researchers in the same field of study.
All participants will be able to make a flash-talk presentation (2-4 min) together with a poster (to be displayed in the Poster Room). Thereby, they will be capable to share their scientific findings and receive a feedback of their works in a friendly atmosphere.
All abstracts will be reviewed by the 4PMPB-Committee, along with the Scientific Committee of the IPB-2025.
