Conference applications

Applications are invited from research scientists working in agriculture, forestry or fisheries for funding towards a conference (or workshop, symposium, etc) to take place in a member country of the Co-operative Research Programme. The aim of the Conference Sponsorship scheme is to inform policy makers, industry and academia of current and future research, scientific developments and opportunities in these areas. Previous conferences are available for review. Testimonials from past organisers and participants can also be reviewed below.

News flash: It is now possible to apply for conference sponsorship of digitally held conferences and workshops. See the Guidelines and Conditions for CRP Conference Sponsorship and the Step-by-Step Guide for conference applications.
