EOI – Student presentations at virtual ADW 24/25

The National Plant Biosecurity Diagnostic Network (NPBDN) is seeking expressions of interest (EOIs) for student presentations for the virtual Annual Diagnostics Workshop (vADW) 24/25 webinar series, held from February-April 2025.

We are looking for PhD and post graduate students to present on the following topics:

  • Plant mycology
  • Plant bacteriology
  • Invertebrate plant pests.

Why participate?

This is an excellent opportunity for students researching plant mycology, bacteriology, and invertebrate plant pests to present their research to a national audience of experts in plant diagnostics and biosecurity.

How to submit your abstract

Abstracts should be 350 words or less (excluding title, authors, and organisations). Only one to two applicants will be selected to present at each virtual workshop. Abstracts will be evaluated by the Network Implementation Working Group (NIWG).

Closing dates:

  • Plant mycology: Abstracts due by 5pm AEDT, Tuesday 28 January 2025
  • Plant bacteriology: Abstracts due by 5pm AEDT, Monday 24 February 2025
  • Invertebrate plant pests: Abstracts due by 5pm AEDT, Monday 24th March 2025

Submit an abstract

NPBDN members can log into the member portal to watch the recent webinar in the vADW series on Plant virology.

We look forward to your abstract submissions.

Stay tuned for further details on the first webinar of 2025, which will be announced in January. For the latest updates, check your email or visit the NPBDN website.
