Next Wageningen Soil Conference: 2027
Since its start in 2011, the Wageningen Soil Conference is typically organized every two to four years, with the latest edition in 2023. We have decided that the next edition of the Wageningen Soil Conference will take place in 2027. The main reason for this is that there are several major events taking place in Wageningen in the next two years, which take up a lot of organizing capacity. We hope that you will join the Wageningen Soil Conference in 2027, and will keep you updated in due time on the website. We look forward to welcoming you in 2027 to Wageningen for an interactive and inspiring soil conference!
Thank you to Wageningen Soil Conference 2023 participants!
