On behalf of the International Society for Plant Pathology, I am pleased to invite you to participate in the International Congress of Plant Pathology in Lyon, France from August 20-25, 2023!  Plant pathologists and plant health researchers from around the world will meet to discuss their latest research as well as current and future issues facing plant health experts.  Our host, the French Phytopathological Society, has set an exciting and challenging theme for the congress, “One Health for all plants, crops and trees”.  This topic promises to provide a broad platform for talks, posters, and discussions that consider the integral nature of plant health with human, animal and environmental health.

We look forward to welcoming you in person to this exciting event.  In addition to an excellent program of keynote talks, concurrent sessions, poster presentations, and networking opportunities, there will be a number of satellite events before the meeting dates to provide opportunities for deeper discussions into a number of topics.

Rejoignez-nous! We promise an educational, thought-provoking week!
