For three days the vibrant city of Bozen-Bolzano, surrounded by the Alps with its UNESCO world heritage of the Dolomites, its wine and fruit yards and its mountain farms will host this event interconnecting science and people. Organized by the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, the Eurac Research Centre, FiBL Switzerland and the University of Padova in cooperation with the European Federation of Animal Science (EAAP), oral presentations, invited keynote speakers and poster presentations frame the program which will be completed by field trips to local farms and industries.
