To register, you will need to create an account, or log-in to your existing account (you may have an account if you've registered for a New Phytologist symposium in 2022 or 2023).

Select the type of registration you want to book this will add it to your basket. 

You will then need to complete the registration form.  

If you are booking for someone else, make sure that you have changed the personal details for that registration to the details of the person attending, including if they have any dietary restrictions or access requirements. This can be updated after registration by contacting the Events and Promotion Manager.

Once the registration form is complete, you can then move to payment. 

In the invoice section, please add the contact details for the invoice.  

You can then move to the payment section. Options are to pay by credit card, or to pay the invoice via bank transfer.  

Accepted credit cards are Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, JCB and American Express. 

After completing the payment section, your registration will be processed.  If you paid by credit card, your ticket will be approved soon afterwards. If you selected to pay by invoice, your place will not be confirmed until your invoice has been paid. 

Navigate to abstract submission.  You may be promoted to log into your Evessio account. 

Once logged into your account, you can save your progress and return to the submission form later. 

Ensure that the personal details are those of the presenting author. 

Fill in your abstract details. 

Upload a Word document of your abstract.

Add any further author information such as an Author Identifier page and/or a CV (optional). 

If you are applying for a travel grant, provide the further information requested.

When you are finished, make sure you submit your abstract using the green 'Complete' button. 

The exact number of abstracts is still to be confirmed, but we have limited poster exhibition/programme space, and expect the process to be competitive. 

Preference will be given to new, unpublished, or recently published work.

We only allow one abstract submission per potential presenter. However, you may be listed as a non-presenting co-author on another abstract submission. 

Space in the symposium sessions is for registered delegates only.   

Subject to space, guests may be able to attend the field trip and/or conference dinner. Additional costs will apply. Contact the Events and Promotions Manager for more details. 

You can apply as part of your abstract submission (please note we cannot accept travel grant applications without a corresponding abstract submission). 

Please ensure you have provided the following information 

• Your CV 
• A letter of support/reference from a senior researcher who has agreed to provide you with a support letter
• A brief (no more than 200-word) statement indicating your reasons for wishing to attend and how you hope the meeting will enhance your career/research
• An estimate of your travel costs

We have a limited number of travel grants available for individuals in the early stages of their career (student and post-doctoral researchers with up to five years’ experience since gaining / defending their PhD, excluding career breaks). 

We also accept grant applications from researchers based in countries classed as low- or middle-income by the World Bank. 

To be eligible for a grant, you must also submit an abstract for consideration as an oral or poster presentation.  

Travel grants will be paid after attendance at the event.  Travel grant claim forms will be sent following the symposium.   We do not require travel receipts to claim your travel grant. Travel grants can be paid directly to your Institution when appropriate. 

Travel grants are typically processed within one month of receipt of the claim form. 

The number of travel grants awarded will vary depending on the number of applications and the amount requested by applicants. 

The process is expected to be competitive.
