Towards Sustainable Agri-Food Systems:

Balancing between Markets and Society

Parma, August 29th – September 1st 2017
We are two months away from the Contributed Paper submission deadline!

The Congress will feature organised sessions, organised panels, invited plenary presentations, contributed papers and posters as well as field trips. Please refer to the Call for Contributions and the instructions for Submission for more detailed information

In particular, policy makers, societal stakeholders and agribusiness representatives are offered the opportunity to contribute to the Programme through organised panels which have an open format and do not require a scientific paper. Organised Panels appear particularly suitable to a problem-oriented approach to a topic, which encourages panellists to take different perspectives, offer different solutions and generally open out the topic to a mixed audience
The actual format of the Panels can be selected from, but not restricted to: Round Table Discussions, moderated by a Panel Chair, where Presentations and Q&A can coexist; Authors meets critics, where a couple of written contributions or well-known positions are discussed; Workshop-style sessions on works-in-progress; "Model UN" or Oxford-Style Debates, where strong advocacy for firmly rooted positions is required and displayed; Forums, where stakeholder and citizen groups have a prominent role in discussing scientific content

In this way, the XV EAAE Congress in Parma will provide an interactive platform for researchers and representatives from non-academic institutions to represent the scientific, practise and advocacy approach to the most pressing issues for agri-food systems and society

The Templates for each type of contribution and the rules for Submission are available at this webpage. Possibilities for organising (Project) Meetings and Pre-Congress Symposia are detailed here

Please take the opportunity to share this call within your network and follow our Social Media presence (at the bottom of the page) and here. Should you require any assistance or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact the LOC of the XV EAAE Congress at info@eaae2017.it

We are almost two months away from the Deadline for Submitting Contributed Papers. Do not miss the opportunity to submit yours!!
