The "Botanikertagung 2011" is a biennial international botanical congress jointly organized by the Freie Universität Berlin and the Humboldt-Universität Berlin on behalf of the German Botanical Society. DIVERSITY MAKES THE DIFFERENCE is the motto of this year's Botanical Conference. The scientific programme aims to bring together students and scientists from the whole spectrum of botanical disciplines and to cover the latest developments in plant science and related research areas. The conference will include 13 plenary lectures from worldwide leading plant scientists and 34 symposia with invited keynote speakers and presentations chosen from the submitted abstracts. We offer appropriate space and adequate time for poster presentations and opportunities for scientific discussions. Postdoctoral researchers, and students will be particularly encouraged to attend, present posters, and be targeted for short talk selection. Berlin is one of the most vibrant and attractive metropolitan areas in Europe. You will find numerous hotels close to the conference venue or in the centre of town and ample opportunities for sightseeing before and after the conference.
