Excitement is building for the upcoming 2nd Canadian Organic Science Conference, which will be held from September 19-21 in Montréal-Longueuil, QC. With two days of conference sessions featuring international and Canadian researchers presenting their work on all aspects of organic agriculture, as well as a field day of visits to Quebec organic farms, the 2nd Canadian Organic Science Conference is a unique opportunity for researchers and producers to share organic knowledge.
We invite you to contribute to the theme of the conference, “Sharing research that grows organic”, by joining us to share your latest research with Canada’s organic community. The submission deadline for oral presentation and poster abstracts has been extended to April 29, 2016; please see the Call for Abstracts for details.
Registration is now open, and the tentative program is available on the conference website, www.craaq.qc.ca/cosc2016.
