Harnessing Photosynthesis for a Sustainable Future

Global change presents significant challenges to our society, and photosynthesis research offers a promising avenue to enhance plant productivity for sustainable food security and carbon modelling in natural and managed ecosystems within a changing climate. The GRS 2025 will serve as a platform to showcase innovative research and learn about new findings and emerging methodologies regarding the responses of photosynthesis in plants and algae from molecular to ecosystem scale. In addition to scientific sessions, attendees will have the opportunity to expand their professional network from their peers and experienced mentors, which is critical to enhancing the impact of their research and overall career progression. To facilitate this, we will host a career panel of experienced mentors from inside and outside academia to provide further tips for navigating the job market and developing effective collaboration and networking strategies. The GRS also emphasizes inclusivity by valuing and integrating the perspectives of a diverse cohort of early-career researchers and invited experienced mentors.
