It is 20 years since the first ECPA conference and the UK organisers are pleased to welcome the return of the conference to the UK and to Edinburgh. The conference will continue with a successful format of previous conferences building in strong industry sessions and participation. The theme of ‘Innovating through Research’ will enable all involved in Precision Agriculture to participate. Oral and poster presentations will be welcomed from authors on any precision agriculture topic though particularly welcome in the list of topics shown in the Programme section. All prospective authors and presenters should view the ‘Key Dates’ section to ensure they can meet the deadlines.

Edinburgh is Scotland’s capital city with unique history and architecture. It’s a major UK centre of agricultural and land-based research where there are leading centres for precision agriculture and sensor-based technology with strong industry links.
 
On ECPA’s 20th anniversary, Edinburgh will host the first return to the UK since the first Conference and provides a new and exciting venue for ECPA. In addition to a strong academic programme, the conference will feature strong links to industry with practical input through commercial participants and the UK’s new Centres of Excellence in Innovation. Edinburgh is a great city for a visit and the Social and Accompanying Persons Programmes will enable delegates to get a real taste of what Edinburgh can offer – some great city centre venues, some great food and drink experiences, vibrant culture and a wealth of history.
