International Plant and Algal Phenomics Meeting*

*SYMPOSIUM AND WORKSHOP*

Join the inaugural *International Plant and Algal Phenomics Meeting (IPAP)**,* which will be held 
this year in the beautiful and historic city of *Prague*, with hands-on *Workshops* at the new PSI 
Plant Phenotyping Centre near *Brno* between *June 27th and 30th 2015*. All academic and industrial 
researchers who wish to learn more about the latest techniques and approaches for high throughput 
phenotyping are encouraged to attend.

*Keynote speakers*

*Uwe**Rascher*, Head of Ecosystem Dynamics Group, ForschungszentrumJülich, Germany

*Xavier Sirault*, Scientific Director at High Resolution Plant Phenomics Centre, CSIRO, Canberra, 
Australia

*Hong Gil Nam*, Head of Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science & Technology, Daegu, South Korea

*Erik Murchie*, Associate Professor of Crop Science, The University of Nottingham, UK

*Richard Sayre*, Scientific Director of the Center for Advanced Biofuel Systems, Los Alamos, USA

*TOPICS *

*IPAP*will feature a host of keynote speakers from around the world, all of whom bring unique 
perspectives to the expanding science of plant and algal phenotyping. Topics include:

·New and Emerging Techniques in Quantitative Plant Phenotyping

·Applied Phenotyping: from Genes to Form and Function

·Data Acquisition, Management and Interpretation. Standardisation and Bottleneck Avoidance.

·Principles, Concepts and Techniques in Field Phenotyping

·Phenomicsin Algal Biotechnology

More information about the program can be found *HERE <http://www.psi.cz/ipap2015/#program>*.

A key feature of the conference will center on the challenges of integrating data from imaging 
sensors and environmental sensors to predict the responses of plants to changing environments, and 
how data collected under controlled conditions in the growth room and greenhouse may help to predict 
the growth patterns of plants in the field. Advances in imaging technology, standardisation of 
experimental protocols, environmental sensing and control, data analysis and trait elucidation will 
be considered in relation to the development of agronomically important crops, and the selection of 
algal strains for high yielding commercial culture.

The conference also features one day workshops at the new PSI Phenotyping Research Center, where 
demonstrations will be followed by the opportunity for hands-on operation of novel technologies for 
numerous aspects of plant and algal phenotyping.
