#6 - September 2010
Dear Agro2010 participants
I
hope all of you enjoyed the Agro2010 congress and had a safe trip
back home. We were 607 participants coming from 56 countries and
I wish to thank all of you for your participation that made this
first agronomy congress in Montpellier a success.
The
updated programme and participants
list are online on the website. A new
page with videos and photos releases is now available
and is still under update. If you wish to add your photos to this
gallery, please send them to agro2010@agropolis.fr.
Oral
presentations
We plan to upload the 147 papers presented during the congress (in
pdf format), along with the video of the plenary session held in
Pasteur room on Monday August 30th.
In case you do not agree to have your presentation online in pdf
format, please send us an email to agro2010@agropolis.fr
before September 27th. The absence of answer will be considered
as an acceptation from your part.
Poster
370
posters were presented. The final poster list will be available
soon on the website.
We also plan to display these posters in pdf format on the future
new website of ESA accessible to ESA members before the end of this
year. Thus, people willing to display their poster, are invited
to send their pdf file to agro2010@agropolis.fr.
Proceedings
Unfortunately,
there is no more printed version available. CDs including the proceedings,
the Dossier d'Agropolis "Agronomy Crops and Cropping systems"
and other documents of the congress, will be available for sale
by next month (and downloadable from the new ESA website for ESA
members). Participants of the Agro2010 congress will also have access
to the new ESA website for a duration of one year. Further information
will be given soon.
ESA general assembly
Further
to the General Assembly held during Agro2010, several decisions
were taken for the future of ESA.
I
am now Past president and the new President is Fred Stoddart from
the University of Helsinky (Finland) where the XIIth ESA congress
will take place in 2012. As voted by ESA members during this General
Assembly, the 2014 ESA congress will be held in Debrecen in Hungary.
Thanks to the assistance of Agropolis International the ESA board
has decided that ESA Secretariat (including a new ESA website) will
be ensured by this scientific association under the responsibility
of Jacques Wery (member of the ESA board) who will act as executive
secretariat for two years until the election of a new executive
secretariat
