The Monogram Network was established in 2005 and consists of mostly UK-based researchers with an active interest in small grain cereals and grass (including C4 energy grasses). A primary aim is to link academia with commercial science and crop breeding, Monogram 2026 will include both basic and more applied research and its members span disciplines including plant genetics, physiology, pathology, breeding, and bioinformatics.
From 2026, Monogram linked up with the AAB to organise their annual meeting, which will simplify the organisation challenges and provide financial security. Attendees of Monogram 2027 have the opportunity to join AAB for a year (see AAB member benefits). The Monogram Steering Group will still make all scientific decisions about the meeting.
Monogram 2027 takes place on the main campus of the University of Nottingham
Monday March 22nd- Thursday March 25th.
Information about Registration and Abstract Submission will be published later in Autumn 2026
