Dear colleagues,

On behalf of the Organising Committee, we are pleased to invite you to the 16th European Weed Research Society Symposium which will be held at Ondokuz Mayis University in Samsun, Turkey.
Ondokuz Mayis University, EWRS and the co-organisers will make every effort to provide an excellent environment for a stimulating and enjoyable scientific congress.
The program will provide valuable information and networking opportunities for participants with an interest in any basic and applied aspects related to weeds and weed management.
We are looking forward to hosting you all in Samsun.

Venue

The symposium will take place at the campus of Ondokuz Mayis University in Samsun. All events will be held at the Congress Centre situated within walking distance from university hotels.
The congress centre has a well-equipped plenary hall hosting up to 450 delegates and some smaller lecture halls with different number of seats and a large area for poster exhibition.
Ondokuz Mayis University is located in Samsun, the largest city on the Black Sea coast in the North of Turkey, with a population of approximately 1.2 million.

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.
