CIGR 2020
CSBE AGM and Technical Meeting
June 14-18, 2020, Québec City

Following the enthusiasm and request of several delegates from CIGR member organisations, the committee agreed to slightly extend the submission period to allow everyone to submit their abstract.

No further extension will be possible.

New deadline for the Call for Abstracts:
January 15th, 2020

The call for abstracts for the 5th CIGR International Conference AND CSBE-SCGAB AGM and Technical Conference is open until January 15th 2020! Under the theme “Integrating Agriculture and Society through Engineering”, the primary goal of this conference is to bring together elite scientists from all over the world, and to provide a unique forum for exchange on the challenges and opportunities in agricultural and biosystems engineering.

Submit an abstract

The conference will take place from June 14th to the 18th 2020 in Québec City, Canada. Québec City offers a blend of culture and history that is unique in North America. Located along the majestic Saint-Lawrence River, Quebec City is the only walled city north of Mexico and the old part of the town is a UNESCO World Heritage treasure.
