Agriculture was a major development in human history, which led to the rise and flourishing of civilization. It plays a critical role in human society, serving as the backbone of the economic system. This conference will provide an online open forum for agricultural scientists and engineers to discuss these challenges and share their latest research achievements in agricultural science and technology. Sessions of the conference will be organized around the following topics:

• Climate-Smart Agriculture: Practices, Determinants, Productivity, and Efficiency;
• Ecosystem, Environment, and Climate Change in Agriculture;
• Agricultural Systems and Management;
• Zero-Pollution Solutions in Crop Protection;
• Agriculture Water Management;
• Smart Farming: From Sensor to Artificial Intelligence;
• Agricultural Soil;
• Crop Production;
• Farm Animal Production;
• From Field to Consumers: Challenges and Approaches to High- Quality Agricultural Products;
• Crop Genetics, Genomics and Breeding.

The IOCAG2025 conference will bring together researchers from all over the world without concerns over travel or other related expenditures. The conference will feature live-streamed webinars and include both invited speakers and contributed speakers selected from the submissions received.

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has demonstrated revolutionary potential in many sectors, and animal science is no exception. The organization of the AI4animal science conference dedicated to this topic arises from the need to explore and leverage the opportunities offered by AI to improve efficiency, sustainability, and health and welfare in animal production. It is now well known that AI provides advanced tools to monitor and manage livestock farming activities more precisely and promptly. The analysis of data collected through sensors, IoT devices, and other technologies allows optimizing the nutrition, health, and welfare of animals, reducing waste and operational costs. One of the main challenges of modern agriculture is, to reduce environmental impact. AI can transform these challenges into opportunities through advanced data-analysis and decision support that minimize the use of natural resources and improve waste management, while simultaneously promoting more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.

This 3-day conference, organized by EAAP, ETH and Agroscope will offer a unique opportunity to showcase and discuss the newest developments in the field of AI for animal science. Through the scientific sessions, we aim to bring together researchers in AI for animal science, but also animal scientists, industry stakeholders and livestock sector partners with an interest in the future potential of AI in livestock farming.

The EUBCE is now characterized as an event that addresses the balance between sustainability in terms of the environment as well as the economic performance of the whole chain of biomass utilization, not forgetting the science.   This conference covers all aspects of biomass, from resources, research, innovation, and deployment to policies. A particular emphasis is given through the exhibition to a tight partnership between academia, research institutions, and industry.

The European Commission Joint Research Centre coordinates the Technical Programme.

Here is a preview of what you can expect at EUBCE:

• Plenary, Oral Presentations, and Panel Discussions (including the Opening and Closing Sessions), covering the entire range of biomass research, technologies and applications
• Industry Track Programme with stakeholders from the international bioenergy industry to present and discuss the latest industry topics and market challenges
• Visual Presentations in the Poster Area. Poster authors will present their posters during a moderated visual session
• The Parallel Events offer a deep insight into specific topics and address to global decision makers from the industry, research, market, and policies.
• EU Projects Workshops, Side Events, and EUBCE Forum presentations offer a deep insight into specific topics

CURRENT TRENDS IN NATURAL SCIENCES International Symposium, May 22 – 24, 2025 National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest, Pitești University Centre, Romania (HYBRID Edition)

You are cordially invited to participate in the 18^th edition of the International Scientific Symposium Current Trends in Natural Sciences, organized by the Faculty of Sciences, Physical Education and Informatics from National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest, Pitești University Centre, Romania.

It already became as annual tradition to meet colleagues, professors, researchers and professionals here. In addition, we are pleased that this event became a common area for scientific interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary discussion on Current Trends in Natural Sciences.

This is the third edition of the ‘Capitalist Transformations’ conference, an academic event that aims to create a space for discussion, debate, and research of the social, political, and economic changes taking place in the region. The conference celebrates the work of Karl Polanyi (1886 – 1964) and György Lukács (1885-1971), two intellectuals and political activists who played a key role in establishing a regional critical tradition analyzing global capitalism. Both of them received their PhD degrees at the University of Cluj / Kolozsvár at the turn of the century, when capitalism was expanding into Eastern and Central Europe and profoundly reshaping social geographies, class structures, and markets.

Deadline for abstract submission: 31 December, 2024
Conference Dates: 19 – 23 May, 2025
