Welcome


Dear colleagues,

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to the 9th European Conference on Precision Agriculture (ECPA) to be held in Lleida, Catalonia, Spain, under the auspices of the International Society of Precision Agriculture (ISPA) and the Universitat de Lleida (UdL).

Lleida is a very important fresh fruit and wine production area in Catalonia and in Spain. Unfortunately, Precision Fructiculture is still far away of being adopted on a regular commercial basis.The Universitat de Lleida and specifically the Escola Tècnica Superior d’Enginyeria Agrària de Lleida (School of Agricultural and Forestry Engineering of Lleida) are working on developing tools for PA. Hosting such an important event as ECPA will surely help our region and other related areas to realize that PA is part of the future.

PA is as an important issue now as when first developing in the late 80s/early 90s. The size of ECPA meetings allows focusing on specific topics related to all PA practices while discovering what our colleagues are working on, enabling synergies and co-operation. Moreover, 9ECPA will be a standalone conference as ECPLF and EFITA are meeting elsewhere. In addition, 9ECPA will keep the standards of its Proceedings following an accurate edition and asking the Scientific Committee to carefully assess the papers.

This is the official website of the 9th European Conference on Precision Agriculture and will provide you with all the information related to the conference as it becomes available. Check the website regularly so that you do not miss any piece of news. In addition, we kindly ask you to fill in a questionnaire in order to have a better indication of possible attendance and to register your name and contact information in a database with the sole purpose of keeping you up-to-date.

We are grateful to the Universitat de Lleida and the International Society of Precision Agriculture (ISPA) for backing us in the organization of this event.

Finally, we encourage all of you to come to Lleida and let the society know about your achievements.

We are looking forward to meeting you in Lleida!
Ens veiem a Lleida!
¡Nos vemos en Lleida!
