The Plant Peptides and Receptors Meeting (PPRM) is an annual international conference, first celebrated in 2013. The 14th edition will be held in Freising, near Munich (Germany), from September 14-16, 2026.

The conference focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of plant peptide and receptor biology, highlighting cutting-edge interdisciplinary research in plant development, reproduction, immunity, symbiosis, abiotic responses, cell wall signaling, and evolution.

PPRM2026 aims to provide a dynamic platform for scientific exchange, the promotion of early scientists and the initiation of future collaborations. The meeting serves as a nucleation point for ambitious new projects with both fundamental and translational goals. 

The conference welcomes Master students, Doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers, principal investigators, and non-academic participants interested in plant peptide and receptor biology.
