Scientific Program

 
Final IBC 2011 Program – Click here to view

As with previous International Botanical Congresses, the scientific program covers all fields
of botanical science, including research on plants, algae and fungi.

The program structure will consist of up to 150 general symposia, allowing up to 900 presentations.

Program Book

Each registered delegate (paid) will receive a program book and pocket program when they arrive at IBC2011 in Melbourne. The program book will be a hard-copy full program and this be accompanied by a small pocket program that will fit into your name nadge holder.

Abstract Book - order your hard-copy

The abstracts for all oral and poster presentations will be available to all registered delegates (paid) in the delegate satchels.

The default version will be electronic, on a CD or USB drive, to reduce the amount of paper used. However, if you would like a hard-copy version instead of electronic you will need to notify the Congress Secretariat by email registration@ibc2011.com by 1 June 2011. We will produce a limited number of hard-copy abstract books based on the number of orders received by 1 June.

You will not be able to request a hard-copy onsite or post Congress.

Additionally, if you would like BOTH an electronic and hard-copy version of the abstracts, there will be an extra cost of AUD$20. You will need to order your hard-copy by 1 June, indicating that you want both versions and an updated invoice will be sent to you for payment.

The registration form is being updated so that all new registrants can tick their preferred option for abstracts when they register.
