Summary - International Phyto-Scholars, Preparing Next Generation Global Leaders in Our Profession As part of the 14th Annual International Phytotechnologies Conference we hope to support student participation in the International Phytotechnologies Scholars Program that will help train and inspire the next generation of professionals and academic researchers. The meeting is to be held September 26-29 2017 in Montreal, Canada and is hosted by the International Phytotechnologies Society. The International Phytotechnologies Scholars Program is a unique student-oriented scholars program, with the specific aims to: 1) Directly support student training and education in phytotechnologies as strategies for mitigating health risks, environmental remediation and stewardship; 2) Increase student knowledge of the broader roles of phytotechnologies in the protection of public health, risk assessment and the improvement of ecosystem function; 3) Provide students with professional development opportunities and the chance to network with international professionals working in the field of phytotechnologies. A number of the initial Phytoscholars are now professionals in the field and faculty members leading research programs. As part of this program, students will be supported to attend the conference by offering support for partial coverage of travel and lodging fees for an expected 12 selected scholars. Phyto-Scholars will be offered the opportunity to travel internationally, and will directly interact with international leaders in the field to learn scientifically and grow professionally. All Phyto-Scholars will be tasked to meet learning objectives, which include not only scientific objectives but also cultural and professional development objectives. The selection process will aim to invite applicants in groups underrepresented in STEM fields. The selection committee, listed below, is a diverse group of accomplished scholars that has interacted with past conferences and Phyto-Scholars programs. Table 1.
