New IPM - Working Together Symposium 2025
Following the success and growth over the last three years, IBMA UK and NP BioHUB are pleased to announce the NewIPM - Working Together Symposium, scheduled for 8-10 September 2025 at the Great Hall, Bay Campus, Swansea University, Swansea, UK.
This symposium will bring together experts from interdisciplinary research, industry, growers, policymakers, funders, and investment stakeholders to discuss the latest advancements in the field of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Topics will include biocontrol, the use of microbial and natural products as biostimulants and biopesticides, as well as multifunctional microbes for enhancing crop production and protection. The event will also explore soil health, IPM in forestry, and the role of IPM in preserving biodiversity, particularly pollinators such as bees.
A key feature of the symposium is its focus on collaboration across sectors. Sessions will cover cutting-edge technologies like AI, robotics, and consumer psychology in the development and implementation of IPM products and strategies. The event will also offer exhibition and networking opportunities, fostering cross-sector partnerships.
A dedicated session will also address funding and investment opportunities for collaborative research, product development, and business growth.
