After months of careful planning and deliberation, we're delighted to announce the launch of a new ISHS website and logo(*).
Both will soon be accompanied by a new online newsletter and an enhanced presence on social media through LinkedIn.
The need to start developing a new website was brought about by the need to move from our existing platform (Drupal CMS), which will not be supported beyond 2026, to the vastly superior content management system WordPress.
We also took that opportunity to revise and improve its functionality. The new website, once launched, will operate under nine key headings: About us; Symposia; Publications; Media; Advocacy; Membership; Young Minds; News; and a new Members Only portal. The ISHS calendar of events can be found under Symposia. Publications include Acta Horticulturae, Chronica Horticulturae and Scripta Horticulturae. The European Journal of Horticultural Science (eJHS), the official journal of ISHS, is now published by CABI on behalf of the ISHS and all current issues, as well as back issues of eJHS and Fruits, The International Journal of Tropical and Subtropical Horticulture, can be found on the publisher website.
For the Young Minds, a dedicated webpage will be offered where relevant news can be uploaded and members will be able to access some of the new services we offer to our Young Minds as these become available.
As the world's largest, independent, non-profit horticultural society, where our members are among the most prominent scientists in their field, we believe that ISHS has a unique role to play in providing advice and commentary on the key issues impacting our planet: climate change, resource use efficiency, sustainability, biotechnology, AI, and the role of horticulture in enhancing the quality of human lives and livelihoods. These pages will be populated in time as we commission work on these topics and others.

In developing our new logo, we wanted something that was modern, colourful and dynamic and would appropriately capture our vision of being a global horticultural society. Our new logo comes with a new headline statement: Advancing horticulture for a better tomorrow together.We believe this statement captures who we are, what we do and what we want to achieve. 

A new email newsletter, coming out on a monthly basis, or thereabouts, will provide you with immediate updates on symposia and other key events, the publication of papers in eJHS, Acta Horticulturae and Chronica Horticulturae. With the publication of this newsletter, Chronica Horticulturae will be repositioned as a members-only publication.

Similarly, for those of you who rely on social media for your news rather than email, the new LinkedIn app will provide you with similar information. However, as LinkedIn is more interactive, it will also provide you with an opportunity to post your comments.Stay tuned, change is coming, feel free to let us know what you think.
(*) The new ISHS logo will gradually be introduced over the months to come along with the introduction of new or enhanced ISHS products and services - the development of the new ISHS website is in its final stage and is expected to soon replace the current website - stay tuned!Tags: ISHSnew logonew website comingCategories: General InterestISHS Board
