Centennial Celebration and Congress of the International Union of Soil Sciences
100 years of soil science. Past achievements and future challenges
The event will also empower the linkages with different disciplines, policy makers, stakeholders, institutions, and associations to effectively address civil society needs within agriculture, forestry, environment, urban planning, energy, education, and other societal issues.
The celebration will occur on May 19th and will be followed by two intense days of congress, with plenary and parallel scientific sessions. Both soil scientists and specialists from other disciplines will participate to each session, focusing on past achievements and future challenges.
The congress will be followed by technical/scientific excursions that will range from short local to long trips, spanning from Alps to Sicily.
A pre-congress visit to Villa Lubin in Rome, the historical place where the IUSS was founded, is scheduled on May 18th.
We are looking forward to welcoming you in Italy,
Giuseppe Corti
Edoardo A.C. Costantini
