This landmark event brings together the newest breakthroughs in barley genetics, cutting-edge developments in barley genomics, and the practical innovations driving crop breeding forward. Whether you work in academic research, plant breeding, agronomy, biotechnology or wider crop science, IBGS15 offers a unique opportunity to connect, collaborate and contribute to the next chapter of barley research.

Taking place in Dundee, IBGS15 will explore the latest science behind disease resistance, climate adaptation, yield improvement, phenotyping, germplasm diversity, molecular breeding technologies, and bioinformatics tools shaping barley science today. Delegates will hear from international experts, participate in technical sessions and workshops, and gain insights into how genetics and genomics research is supporting global food security.

Scotland has a long-standing reputation for leadership in barley research, from malting quality and variety development to advanced genomic approaches used by breeders worldwide. Hosting IBGS15 in Dundee places delegates at the centre of this innovation ecosystem, with easy access to research institutes, trial sites, and collaborative partners.

Join us in 2027 for a major milestone in international barley science, and help shape the future of global barley genetics and genomics research.
