As you might know, France will take over the EU presidency in the first half of 2022. In this context, INRAE will organize a scientific conference, included in the official French Presidency program, known as «What research to meet the pesticides reduction objectives embedded in the European Green Deal?».  We are very pleased to invite you to this conference that will take place on 2-3 June 2022 in Dijon (East of France).

The conference will provide a state of play of the scientific production and of the science fronts that the European research must explore in order to break away from the current food system known to be heavily dependent on chemical pesticides. The major goal is to contribute to responding to the ambitious pesticide reduction objective of the European Green Deal.  

In order to organize an exciting conference which attracts researchers and companies from all member states, we invite you to broadly disseminate the information and the enclosed call for papers. This call aims to provide the opportunity to European researchers from any disciplines and practitioners to participate in the main scientific conference that will be held on the 2^nd of June 2022. You will find all the details in the enclosed call which is open until the 1^st of February 2022.
