ISPR needs YOU !

You are invited to join ISPR via this Link

Membership in ISPR promotes the well-being of the international photosynthesis community. Your membership of a well-subscribed and active international society increases the visibility and viability of photosynthesis as a discipline. It enhances the contribution of photosynthetic research in life sciences, agriculture and forestry as well as in environmental and Earth sciences.
Membership of ISPR provides the broadest possible access to an international circle of your colleagues in photosynthesis research, their research findings and instructional resources.

Your membership fees enable ISPR to provide modest grants to meeting organizers in support of students and postdocs, and to recognize achievements in research at each International Congress on Photosysnthesis (ISPR Awards).
