Presenter Instructions

Who will present their research?

The project consortia of the following BMBF funded plant research initiatives will be represented:

  • Plant Breeding Research for the Bioeconomy III
  • Epigenetics – Chances for Plant Research
  • Modern breeding research for climate- and site-adapted crops of tomorrow

The conference program gives an overview on all talks and time slots. All speakers are kindly asked to adhere strictly to the given time frame.

Presentations should give an overview of all subprojects of the consortium. For ongoing projects, emphasis should be laid on scientific results.

Please hand in your talk in time during the conference, latest in the break before your session.

Plenary presentation instructions

All ongoing and new project consortia are picked for an oral presentation this year. The coordinators are asked to submit an abstract for the talk until January 28, 2025.

Poster instructions

Every sub-project of a consortia should be represented by a poster. Besides the abstracts, you have the option to upload a PDF for the poster itself in the abstract section.

We recommend to display the provided QR-Code on your poster to enable your colleagues to access your abstract on the website when standing in front of your poster. You can find the QR-Code below your abstract in the abstract section.

Please submit your poster abstract until January 28, 2025.

Optionally: Please submit your poster PDF until March 4, 2025.

The posters should be in size of DIN A0 (portrait), which equals 841 mm x 1189 mm or 33.1 inch x 46.8 inch, as it is limited by the size of the movable walls. Please notice that we will not print your poster.

The poster session will take place in the foyer of the conference hotel on March 6. The regular coffee breaks offer further time for discussions.

Please find the session slot in the conference program.

Elevator Pitch Awards

Elevator Pitch Awards

Elevator Pitch

Young scientists: Don’t miss this chance to bring your work into the spotlight and win one of two fantastic prizes.

The elevator pitch gives you two minutes on stage to introduce your research. Let the audience know, what makes your project unique and fascinating!

How you present your project is completely up to you. You may speak freely, use creative aids or include PowerPoint. Your pitch can highlight the broader picture of the project, outline future plans or provide a snapshot of key results.

Remember to focus on your core message and avoid presenting too many details. There's no need to be overly serious – think of your presentation as a teaser for upcoming exchange at the conference, where the focus will shift back to scientific discussions.

By taking part, you have the opportunity to win one of two €300 prizes, generously provided by our partners at GFPi (Gemeinschaft zur Förderung von Pflanzeninnovation e. V.).

To participate, simply email us by February 21 at plant2030@die-blattmacher.com.

You'll receive guidance for your preparation, along with organizational details before the conference.
