2nd CeM²P Annual Meeting
Hybrid Event | December 1–2, 2026
Venue: IMECC Auditorium, University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Rua Sérgio Buarque de Holanda, 651, Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil.
Join us for the 2nd CeM²P Annual Meeting, bringing together researchers, students, and collaborators to share discoveries, exchange ideas, and strengthen scientific partnerships in plant molecular breeding.
Over two days, the meeting will explore advances and challenges in high-throughput phenotyping, modeling, molecular omics, plant breeding, biotechnology, and data science through scientific lectures, thematic panels, round-table discussions, and poster presentations.
Whether you join us in person or online, this is an opportunity to connect with the CeM²P community, discover innovative research, and foster collaborations toward more productive and sustainable agricultural systems.
More information coming soon! The full program and online access link will be announced shortly.
