Reminder: ICA Rectors and Deans Forum 2021
The ICA Rectors and Deans Forum focusing on The Role of Life Science Universities in Transitioning to Climate Neutrality and Open Science will be held as a face to face meeting at KU Leuven, Belgium.
The Forum will explore the challenge of developing food systems which will result in the reduction in GHG emissions from agriculture through deliveringmore food from crops, less food from animals with aconsequent reduction in globally required land area for food production and an increase in land for re-afforestation for greater carbon sequestration. The discussion will highlight the opportunity for agricultural and life science universities to engage in Brussels and with stakeholders in contributing to the achievement of the EU Farm to Fork Strategy by 2030 and climate neutrality in Europe by 2050. In support of these aims the Forum will also explore strategies for implementing effective open access to scientific publications and data from our universities.
Ahead of the Forum, the ICA General Assembly – followed by the ICA Forum reception and walking dinner – will be held on 20 October.
Extended registration deadline: 10 October 2021
