EUNOPS-2025

The European Network of Palm Scientists cordially invites all researchers with interests in palms to join us for our annual meeting in Cambridge on 8-9th May 2025. The meeting will feature talks and posters from all areas of palm science, as well as informal discussions aiming to foster future collaborations on palms. This informal meeting is intended to be a supportive environment for researchers at all career stages to present their findings, but especially students and early career researchers. EUNOPS and its meetings are not exclusive to European researchers – researchers from any part of the globe are extremely welcome to participate. The 2025 meeting is organised by Cambridge University Botanic Garden and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

There is no registration fee to attend this meeting. A modest fee is charged for the conference dinner (optional).

About EUNOPS

EUNOPS is an informal association of biologists with a wide spectrum of research interests in palms (Arecaceae or Palmae). The network, established in 2001, exists to facilitate exchange of information on palm research taking place in Europe, and to promote integration and collaboration. EUNOPS meetings have been held annually since the network’s inception providing a regular forum for face-to-face discussions and research presentations. The meetings have taken place at different European venues each year and have a strong emphasis on student/postdoctoral research and lively debate.

Please register to the meeting through this form by April 6th 2025. To apply to present a short talk or a poster please complete the same form. Please contact Ángela Cano (ac2202@cam.ac.uk) if you have any questions.

The meeting will take place at the Sainsbury Laboratory, located at the Cambridge University Botanic Garden.
