Delegates may propose workshops of 1-2 hours duration focussed on specific topics or challenges in the science and utilisation of seeds. Workshops may be comprised of small sessions of group participation and discussion, led by one or two facilitators, that aim to address specific challenges, or gaps in research, knowledge or practice. They may identify future research agendas or areas for collaboration including joint papers or other research activities.

Organisers will have flexibility to structure the workshop as appropriate to their goals. However, the Conference Organising Committee will determine the maximum number of workshops and attendees at each, and other details that may have financial or logistical implications. Workshops will be open to all attendees on a first-come, first-serve basis and will not require pre-registration. Workshops will be held concurrently with regular conference session(s).

Workshop proposals detailing the organiser(s) and a summary of the proposed topics and goals may be submitted in the form of a 300 word abstract directly to the Conference Organisers for further discussion at isss2025@arinexgroup.com.
