Dear Sponsor,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, it is a pleasure to invite you to the 20th International Symposium on Plant Lipids, to be held in Seville. Organizing an international symposium without the support of scientific societies requires considerable funds. Without financial support from the industry, this symposium would not be possible. To ensure this program, which provides the latest information and insights from the world’s leading experts, it is vital to maintain an affordable registration level for all participants allowing the assistance of most of the plant lipid research community. Your generous support will provide financial assistance to help promising postgraduate students attend ISPL2012.

A sponsorship or an advertisement in the framework of the 20th ISPL congress is a perfect investment to enhance your visibility on the World Market and beyond... The series of ISPL congresses is regularly attended by 250-300 delegates from over 50 countries. All sponsors will be recommended in the registration program booklet, the book of Abstracts, on the congress webpage and on special event signage.

Become an ISPL2012 sponsor, contact with the Scientific Secretariat and you will receive a dossier including a list of sponsorship/marketing options in different price levels that have been popular among companies in the past. An early decision is encouraged to prolong your visibility on the webpage.

2012 Paul K. Stumpf Award 

The recipient of this year’s P.K. Stumpf Award is Dr. Noemi Ruiz Lopez from Rothamsted Research, Harpenden, United Kingdom. Noemi is a promising scientist in the field of plant lipid research and has been designated by the ISPL2012 Scientific Committee. She will present the Paul K. Stumpf Lecture entitled: "The metabolic engineering of omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in transgenic plants – less is more".
