The International Conference on Arabidopsis Research (ICAR) is an annual gathering of up to 1000 scientists whose primary research organism is the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. This meeting embraces the remarkable contribution that Arabidopsis has made to our understanding of plant science. Information about the past 30 years of ICAR meetings can be found at website for the Multinational Arabidopsis Steering Committee (MASC).
ICAR2022 takes place at the International Conference Centre in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Belfast lies within the beautiful country of Northern Ireland that was used as the backdrop for the Game of Thrones TV show.
ICAR meetings are overseen by MASC but are independently organised without the financial backing of an established society. ICAR2022 is organised by Arabidopsis Events UK with support for abstract submisson and registrations from the Association of Applied Biologists.
