Zusammenfassung: The 2008 APGC Symposium on 'Plant Metabolism, Air Pollution and Global Change: Plant Functioning in a Changing Global Environment' will be jointly organized by the University of Melbourne, Australia, the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, INRA Nancy, France and the Word Agroforestry Centre for Southeast Asia Region (ICRAF SEA), Bogor, Indonesia. The aim of the APGC Symposium Series is to bring together scientists of various disciplines, who are actively involved in research on responses of plant metabolism and functioning to air pollution and global change. The previous symposia in the Series were held in Oxford, UK, 1982, Munich, Germany, 1987, Blacksburg, USA, 1992, Egmond aan Zee, The Netherlands, 1997, Pulawy, Poland, 2001 and Tsukuba, Japan, 2004.

Zusammenfassung: 2009 marks the 200th anniversary of the birth of Charles Darwin, and the 150th anniversary of his landmark publication On the Origin of Species. Because of Darwin evolution has become an accepted theory, explaining the great diversity of animal and plant life on Earth and underpinning much of the medical, psychological, agricultural and biological research going on in the world today. Evolutionary theory has permeated many other facets of modern life from economics to politics to theology.

This conference will bring together a galaxy of internationally acclaimed speakers for plenary addresses and symposia that will provide a deep coverage of the past, present and future impact of evolutionary thought on science and society.

The conference will be embedded in a rich tapestry of public events exploring and celebrating Evolution. Far more than a conference, this will truly be Evolution – the Experience.
