It’s that time again, we are busy planning for the next PBRI Symposium to be held in Melbourne on 12 &13 May 2026.
This will coincide with the UN declared International Day of Plant Health.
This biannual Symposium highlights PBRI’s $70 million investment in plant biosecurity research coordinated across Australia’s plant industries, including horticulture, forest plantations, grains, wine, sugarcane, cotton, and new and emerging plant industries.
The program will R&D activities delivered by PBRI’s partners including Better Border Biosecurity (B3) New Zealand, Euphresco, ACIAR, the Australian Plant Health Committee and Plant Health Australia.
A dedicated session will be included on future plant biosecurity leaders, included presentations and posters from up-and-coming leaders, studying or working in the field of biosecurity.
The program will be based on the PBRI’s key focus areas

We extend the invitation to everyone with an interest in Australia’s plant biosecurity including our plant industries, researchers, students and biosecurity experts.
