This conference brings together professionals concerned with the health and protection of crops in Southern Europe. In particular, the programme will focus on the regulation of chemical, biological and agronomic technologies.
Held in the beautiful city of Barcelona in a relaxed but professional atmosphere, this Southern European-focussed event fills a gap in the field of crop protection for the region.
Following the 39th annual of the “Las Jornadas de Productos Fitosanitarios” which is taking place on 29-30 November, TSGE Forum, in association with the IQS, will host the Southern European Crop Protection (SECP) conference that will focus on the regulation of chemical, biological and agronomic technologies.
Taking place after the Las Jornadas event at the convenient location of the IQS – Ramon Llull University, the SECP conference will be held on 30 November-1 December. The conferences will bring together professionals concerned with the health and protection of crops in Southern Europe and will provide a great opportunity to connect and network with old and new colleagues and professions (particularly industry and regulatory officials) in a relaxed but professional atmosphere.
