JULY 19-23, 2027
University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA

Organized by the North American Arabidopsis Steering Committee (NAASC)

NAASC is excited to return ICAR to Madison, Wisconsin, for the first time since 2011. Madison is a historical home for ICAR - it was the main ICAR location to host ICAR in the modern era of Arabidopsis biology (circa late 1990s.)

Our goal is to create an exciting scientific program and provide new opportunities for early-career scholars, in particular, to attend an ICAR and to participate in Arabidopsis-focused research and community.

We will engage in fund-raising to make the conference as affordable to as many as possible. We invite your general sponsorship support to ensure the meeting is accessible to all, and we also invite support to help trainees participate.

• If you would like to learn of sponsorship opportunities, please contact Joanna Friesner, the ICAR 2027 lead organizer & NAASC coordinator.

• If you would like to contribute to support early-career (or non-US-based) scholars specifically, you may also contribute to the NAASC equity fund.

We also are engaging with the vibrant local Arabidopsis community at Madison to develop the scientific and social programs. Jake Brunkard, Associate Professor in Genetics, is the local organizer and we appreciate his support in making ICAR 2027 a success!

We hope you will be able to attend and support U.S. science & scientists!
