Third International
Legume Society
Conference ILS 3 
2019

Dear ILS3 Conference Attendees,

 

Many thanks to all of you for having come to Poznań and participating in the ILS3 Conference Legumes for human and planet health. We were really happy to host you in our city. Finally, there were 183 of participants (82 women and 101 men), including 30 students and PhD students. The participants came from 38 countries of 5 continents. We had a unique opportunity to meet together and discuss problems concerning legumes – our common passion. As organizers, we do believe that this meeting was inspiring and fruitful for all the people working within diverse legume specializations.

Our thanks also go to all the honorary patrons, sponsors and partners who helped us to make this event possible and enjoyable.

We owe special thanks to the Ministry of Science and Higher Education for considerable financial support of conference activities.

Altogether 57 oral presentations and 146 posters were contributed. The best presentations were awarded – as follows:

  • Valentina Caracuta (France) - the best oral presentation award funded by the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.
  • Benjamin Péret (France) and Meghan Couchoud (France) - two presentation awards funded by the Mayor of Poznań.
  • Ana Margarida Sampaio (Portugal), Alanna Orsak (Canada) and Ferawati Ferawati (Sweden) - three ex aequo poster awards for students and Phd students, funded by Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing and the Mayor of Poznań.

During the General ILS Assembly the Executive Board was elected for 2019-2022. Paolo Annicchiarico is now the President of the International Legume Society.

However we did not only work but also had fun together. The Fourth International Legume Football Cup was played out. The winners were Starch Shuttles FC. All the cup players got medals and the challenge cup was brought to Canada by the winners’ Captain, Tom Warkentin.
Thank you very much again.

Wishing you all the best, we are looking forward to seeing you in Granada at ILS4 conference in October 2022.
