Code of Conduct

Joining the IPPS puts you among an enthusiastic, knowledgeable group of people involved with plant propagation, production, research and cultivation techniques. Some of the more obvious benefits are detailed below; others are less tangible but equally important – initial links forged between members that grow into friendships lasting lifetimes. If you would like to know more about joining, contact the Secretary or an Executive Committee member.

Membership Benefits

The opportunity to Seek and Share knowledge, experience and understanding between people who work with, grow, study or simply love plants.
The Combined Proceedings (The Black Book) is a hard-backed volume produced each year. It contains all the papers which are given at the regional conferences world-wide during the course of the year and so is a wealth of technical information and enables members to gain from others experience. This is now also available on CD.
It is IPPS policy to publish index’s, detailing all conferences from 1951, every 10 years. These are indexed by author, species and subject matter. Again some back copies are available from the Secretary.
Membership Directory – a register listing names, places of work and home addresses, telephone, fax and email numbers of all members.
The chance to pick up technical tips from those with experience. The opportunity to meet like-minded people on a friendly, informal basis.
A web site of www.ipps.org is available for information on the Regions around the world including New Zealand.
IPPS Scholarships.
Work Exchange opportunities. Those interested in an IPPS coordinated work exchange should also consider applying for the IPPS Travel Scholarship for some financial assistance.
