Future Arabidopsis Meetings: New Location Rotation Adopted

At the recent International Conference on Arabidopsis Research held in
Beijing, China, the MASC formally adopted a 3 year rotation for future
Annual Arabidopsis meetings to include (1) North America (2) Europe (3)
Asia/Pacific Rim. These changes were implemented to reflect the growing
globalization of the Arabidopsis community.



In 2008, the NAASC will host the 19th ICAR in Montreal, Canada (July 23-28,
2008).

In 2009, GARNet plans to host the 20th ICAR in the United Kingdom.

In 2010, a location in Asia/Pacific Rim will be solicited for the 21st ICAR.

In 2011, the meeting is expected to rotate back to North America for the
22nd ICAR.
