18th EGF Symposium 2015

The 18^th EGF Symposium was held in Wageningen, The Netherlads, from 14-17 June 2015 in Hof van Wageningen (see more at www.egf2015.nl).

The Conference on a current theme for a large area of Europe attracted a total of 187 participants from 30 different countries. Two workshops on “Grazing and automation” and “Optimising Resource Management” which were advertised for Sunday before the Symposium and offered by EGF working groups attracted 60 and 20 very interested people, respectively.

The EGF Symposium on “Grassland and forages in high output dairy farming systems” was a great success, scientifically, technically and socially.
