Conferences and Symposia
Symposia
Each year the PSC organizes a scientific symposium that focuses on a major topic in the plant sciences. During the conference, invited scientists from around the world interact with the PSC scientific community. In alternate years, PSC PhD students are responsible for the symposium topic and organisation.
Public round tables
The PSC and its Science and Policy PhD Program, organizes public round tables and panel discussions. Here, scientists, policy makers, and the general public meet to debate topics in plant sciences that are of relevance for policy issues and society at large.

Fachtagungen Dialog Grün
The PSC, in collaboration with the Collegium Helveticum, regularly organizes conferences at which scientists, journalists, policy makers, teachers and the general public meet to discuss the benefits and risks of new plant science related technologies and the resulting ecological, social and economic implications.
The last Fachtagung "Neue Technologien im Pflanzenschutz" was held on 8 June 2016 at ETH Zurich.
