Registration is now open for the NEW IPM 2023 – One Health symposium on 5-7th September 2023.
For the second year running, Swansea University has been chosen as the host for this prestigious event which focuses on new and developing innovative programmes in Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
The symposium, led by the Natural Products BioHUB, offers a unique opportunity for researchers, technologists and end users to hear from others working in the field and to exchange ideas.
As human, animal, and plant health are inextricably interlinked with each other and the environment, ‘One Health‘ is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimise the health of people, animals and ecosystems.
IPM programmes aim to reduce inputs of pesticides that are harmful to humans and the environment and thus contribute to the global ‘One Health‘ vision.
This event will take place over three days (Tuesday 5th, Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th September 2023) with Gala Dinner (Wednesday 6th) and a free Evening Reception event open to all (Monday 4th).

What is IPM?
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an ecosystem-based approach to solving pest problems whilst minimising risks to people and the environment.
Innovative examples using modern technologies include electronic sensors, robotic crop inspectors and low-energy lighting within the horticultural sector. This ‘high-tech approach’ is not just reserved for protected crops as drone technology, satellite imagery and nutrient mapping are changing the way arable and fruit tree farmers approach problems by providing an almost unlimited level of detailed information that is helping the grower in new and exciting ways.
Our Event
Our event aims to recognise and disseminate exciting new methods and highlight the barriers to development and commercialisation.
We offer a platform to bring together those involved in the agribusiness chain, to present and discuss new innovations and how they are being implemented in crop protection. It is a unique opportunity for industrialists and leading researchers to share approaches and experiences in this strategic domain.

1 IPM – ONE HEALTH with Prof. Tariq Butt
2 One Health – New Products and Strategies with Dr Farooq Shah (Swansea University, RAZBIO)
