Currently SPPS organises three types of international meetings, the SPPS Congress, the ECPI Meeting for early career researchers, and the SPPS PhD Student Conference. A local organising committee is appointed to organise teach event. Junior members of the society may apply for SPPS travel grants to attend these meetings.
The SPPS Congress is the primary meeting of the society arranged every second year. The location alternates amongst the Nordic countries. This international meeting focuses on current and interesting topics within the field of plant physiology. Internationally distinguished scientists are invited as speakers and other research groups have the chance to be selected for a talk. Providing a stimulating environment for discussion, idea exchange, and establishing contacts has always been one of the main purposes of the SPPS Congresses. The general assembly of SPPS convenes during the SPPS Congress.
