Photosynthesis 2026
is coming to Liverpool, 26 – 30 July 2026.

The study of photosynthesis has attracted the attention of successive legions of biologists, biochemists, chemists and physicists for over 200 years. Never in the history of photosynthesis research, however, has progress in our understanding of photosynthetic mechanisms, regulation and improvement been made as rapidly as it has over the past 5 years. Substantial efforts to improve the efficiency and productivity of photosynthesis have the potential to increase crop yields without further increasing fertilizer and water use. Moreover, tailoring photosynthesis to meet the needs of nature-based solutions to climate change and to the sustainability of food production remain global challenges to be addressed by the photosynthesis community.
This meeting will galvanise participants from academia and industry to translate this new mechanistic understanding of photosynthetic function into improved crop production and more efficient terrestrial carbon sinks.

Featuring 25 concurrent sessions, the International Conference on Photosynthesis Research 2026 (ICPR26) will be held in the heart of Liverpool on the banks of the River Mersey at the spectacular ACC.
