Subject: Third Call for Abstracts for Oral Presentations: IUFRO Tree Biotechnology 2027: Deadline extended to Monday 16 Nov 2026

Dear Colleagues

This is the 3^rd Call for Abstracts for the IUFRO Tree Biotechnology Conference in April 2027 in Stellenbosch, South Africa!

We know that many members of the Working Party were also working on abstracts for the Plant and Animal Genome (PAG34) Meeting in January 2027 in San Diego. So we have decided to extend the deadline for oral presentation abstracts to Monday 16 November.

We strongly encourage fellow researchers, academics, students and industry representatives to submit abstracts for oral presentations and register to join us for an exceptional scientific gathering in the beautiful Cape Winelands of South Africa.

Key details:

Location: Stellenbosch, Western Cape, South Africa

Dates: 25-30 April 2027

Extended abstract submission deadline:16th November 2026

More information can be found on the conference website: https://www.treebiotech2027.org/

We request that you forward this notice to all interested colleagues and postgraduate students in your institutional networks.

We have a competent Scientific Committee who is eager to evaluate your abstracts and also to help us identify Session Keynote Speakers as well as Early Career Keynote Speakers. We will also have one or two Main Plenary speakers.

Please note there will be a separate call for abstracts for posters and speed talks.

As always, we look forward to welcoming you to the Stellenbosch Winelands for an unforgettable scientific conference and cultural experience.

Kind regards

Zander and rest of the Organising Committee copied here.
