Future IPM 3.0: towards a sustainable agriculture Invitation

We would like to invite you to the forthcoming event Future IPM 3.0 on October 16-20, 2017, Riva

del Garda, Italy.

The conference is at its third edition and will be organized by Fondazione Edmund Mach (FEM),

Laimburg Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry (LAIMBURG), International Organisation for

Biological and Integrated control (IOBC/WPRS), International Biocontrol Manufacturers’ Association

(IBMA) with the collaboration of the Free University of Bolzano-Bozen (UNIBZ), the University

of Trento (UNITN), the University of Innsbruck (UIBK), the University of Padova (UNIPD),

the Mediterranean Phytopathological Union (MPU), under the patronage of Euregio Tyrol-

South Tyrol- Trentino (EUREGIO), Landwirtschaftliches Schulwesen | Land Tirol, the

Autonomous Province of Trento (PAT), and the Autonomous Province of Bozen/Bolzano

(PAB).

Venue of the congress is the Palacongressi of Riva del Garda, which is located in a lovely area in the

Northern side of Lake Garda.

Approximately 1000 participants are expected to register over the five days of events. Several

congresses and conferences successfully address specific tools to improve plant protection against

pest and pathogens; however, the future challenge will be the integrated concept of IPM. In this

context the congress will provide a unique opportunity to share regulatory, scientific, and

technological information in the field of “reducing pesticide use-and-risk in integrated pest

management (IPM)”. The main objective is to promote knowledge exchange among scientists,

companies, farmers, advisors, policy makers and supply chain stakeholders, and identify approaches,

tools and techniques to meet the future needs of crop protection for a SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

and DEVELOPMENT.

The highlight of our Congress is without a doubt the scientific program, which, thanks to invited

keynote speakers and scientific contributions, explores new directions in IPM and tools particularly

focusing on the contribution of science and industry in their practical implementation.

Complementing the main program are the parallel scientific workshops with the contributions, demos

and sponsored presentations and the wide exhibition of posters and stands.

A Congress of this magnitude would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of several

people and institutions and the support of our industry partners, sponsors and exhibitors. On behalf

of thr organizing committee we wish you a wonderful stay in Riva del Garda and memorable

experiences from this Conference.

Sincerely,
