IJPB Symposium 2026, 23 - 25 September 2026 | IJPB, INRAE Ile-de-France - Versailles-Saclay, Versailles, France

Chemical interactions between plants and their environment: from the molecule to the field

The Institute Jean-Pierre Bourgin for Plant Sciences, a major laboratory for plant science research affiliated to both INRAE and AgroParisTech, is organising the 3rd edition of its international symposium. Following on from the 2018 and 2024 symposiums, this event will take place from the 23^rd to 25^th of September 2026 on the INRAE Versailles Campus.

The IJPB Symposium 2026 edition is dedicated to chemical interactions between plants and their environment: from the molecule to the field, a booming research area in which IJPB researchers are developing integrative approaches bridging plant metabolism and its effect on biotic/abiotic interactions, and vice versa.

The symposium will comprise an opening lecture and four thematic sessions, each involving an international and an IJPB keynote speaker as well as presentations from participants selected from submitted abstracts. The themes of each session are outlined below:
1 - Chemical signals involved in plant response to their environment.
2 - Molecular and cellular mechanisms of chemical responses to biotic and abiotic stress.
3 - Integration of chemical interactions in ecological communities and agroecosystems.
4 - Agroecological innovations derived from studies of plant-environment interactions.

The aim of this exciting meeting is to foster collaborations and facilitate knowledge exchange among participants by bringing together renowned specialists in the field and a high level of interdisciplinary.

The symposium will also feature a workshop on the analysis of plant specialized metabolites, conducted in collaboration with the Chemistry/Metabolism platform (PO-Chem) and a tour of the Plant facilities (PO-Plants) and the Phenoscope (PO-Pheno), all three of which are part of the Plant Observatory (PO) of the IJPB.

Ahead of the symposium, the ENVIE Network will hold its 5th plenary edition in Versailles from the 21^st to 23^rd of September 2026, organised as part of a MULTISTRESS satellite workshop

We look forward to meeting you in Versailles!
