The papers presented at the annual conferences are available to all IPPS members. Professionally edited papers and presentations can be accessed on the Proceedings page. There are currently 69 volumes of the Combined Proceedings available.
Field Days & Workshops:
IPPS Regions regularly organize field days, nursery visits and workshops throughout the year.
Scholarships & Exchange Programs:
Various scholarships and exchange programs exist to encourage young members to travel and learn from others. Please visit the scholarships page for more information.
