The upcoming edition of the Expoliva International Scientific, Technical and Knowledge Transfer Symposium , which is being held for the twenty-second time within the framework of EXPOLIVA 2025, is consolidating its position as the main meeting point for researchers, technicians, and professionals in the world of olive groves and olive oil. Organized by the Olive Grove Foundation, the event will address the challenges and opportunities of the sector with a firm commitment to sustainability, health, and innovation. With more than three decades of history, this forum has become a benchmark for knowledge exchange and the promotion of advanced technologies in the olive oil sector. The 2025 edition will also be notable for the participation of several operational groups that will showcase their results during the symposium. These include the GO Simbioliva (Simbioliva Group) in a dedicated program space, along with innovative projects for the olive and olive oil sectors. The symposium thus reaffirms its role as a platform of excellence for connecting science, technology, and sustainable development around olive oil, a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet and an economic engine for many regions.

FUTURAL (Powering the Future through Smart and Innovative Solutions for Rural Areas) is an EU-funded innovation project led by the Agricultural University of Athens, involving 21 partners from across Europe. The project seeks to test and pilot a set of community-led social, technological, and business innovations designed to generate lasting change through collaboration with rural communities. In this context, the project will organize its first EU-wide Rural Innovation Forum , a two-day networking event bringing together stakeholders from the rural ecosystem (such as FUTURAL multi-stakeholder pilot projects -MAPs-, rural innovators, rural networks, policy makers and implementers, EU-funded projects, organizations and entrepreneurs) with the aim of laying the groundwork for capacity building and experience sharing on smart community-led innovation in rural areas. Goals To increase the capacity of rural communities to implement and adopt social, technological, and commercial innovations by organizing a series of workshops on capacity development and policy and governance frameworks. Present and share experiences of co-creating innovations in multi-stakeholder pilot projects (MAPs). Introducing the Alpha version of the FUTURAL Smart Solutions and Metasearch Platform. Maximize interaction and knowledge exchange among FUTURAL's MAPs, partners, and participating experts within and outside the project. PROGRAM | REGISTRATION

Since 1985, the AIDA Animal Production Conference has become the reference forum in the Spanish-speaking world for the exchange of scientific and technical advances of interest among professionals and researchers in Animal Production. This 21st edition brings two important new features. Firstly, the meeting will be held at a new venue, the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the University of Zaragoza. Secondly, a new section dedicated to precision livestock farming is being incorporated, which is added to the usual ones (genetics, nutrition/feeding, livestock systems/economics and management, reproduction, animal health and welfare and product quality).

The 20th World Bioenergy Congress & Exhibition will be held from 16 to 17 June 2025 in Frankfurt and is already preparing the participation of its speakers and experts. Bioenergy 2025 is comprised of keynote sessions and presentations by renowned speakers on the latest cutting-edge research in bioenergy. The aim is to provide comprehensive global discussions that address current challenges in the sector and showcase the solutions that are being adopted. Among other topics, Bioenergy 2025 will address: The diverse applications of bioenergy, as biomass is increasingly used for modern applications such as wood power, cogeneration and combined heat and power (CHP), are expected by experts to become the dominant form of renewable energy. Biogas. The impact of solar energy and wind energy on agricultural production. Advances in renewable chemicals. Green chemistry and green revolution. Sustainable energy for rural areas. Rural areas would need ready supplies of electricity generated from renewable sources. Sustainable energy and economy. Bioenergetic transition. Bioenergy Processes. Bioenergy technology faces challenges in terms of technological support, economics and knowledge. Biodiesel and Biofuels, and their limits without harming food supply and biodiversity. Advanced biofuels can help solve these complications. Waste to energy (WtE). Bioenergy will also include an Entrepreneurial Investment Summit to connect global proponents and investors in the field of biofuels, biomass, biogas, bioenergy and renewable energy and their related sciences to boost promising businesses.
