The Portuguese Pasture and Forage Society (SPPF), in collaboration with the Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development of the University of Évora (MED) and the National Institute for Agricultural and Veterinary Research, I.P. (INIAV, I.P.), has the honour of organising the 31st General Meeting of the European Grassland Federation. This benchmark event in the field of pastures and forages will bring together between 350 and 400 researchers, academics and professionals from more than 32 European countries.

This event is particularly important for Portugal, where pastures cover more than 2 million hectares, making up the country’s largest agricultural land use.
In addition to the scientific sessions, the programme will include a Masterclass aimed at Master’s and PhD students, dedicated to the theme ‘Methodology for Estimating Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Grassland Ecosystems’, with the participation of European experts.
The congress will centre on the theme ‘Challenges and Innovations for Grasslands Resilience’, structured around five major sessions:
- Climate change and grasslands soil and water management
- Agroforestry, pastoralism and society
- Breeding for new challenges

ITD27: International Transdisciplinarity (ITD) Conference - University of Évora
We are pleased to announce that the next International Transdisciplinarity (ITD) Conference, ITD27, will be hosted by the University of Évora in Évora, Portugal from 31 May through 4 June 2027.
ITD27 is organized in collaboration with the Global Alliance for Inter- and Transdisciplinarity (ITD Alliance), the Network for Transdisciplinary Research (td-net) at the Swiss Academies of Arts and Sciences, MED – Mediterranean Institute for Agriculture, Environment and Development and CHANGE – Global Change and Sustainability Institute, at the University of Évora. The working title of the conference is “Bridging Knowledge and Networks: Inter- and Transdisciplinarity for Transformative Change”. Current themes being explored include the role of inter- and transdisciplinarity in systemic transformation across academia, funding institutions, policymaking, and other societal sectors, and how to strengthen networks that foster lasting collaboration. These discussions are still evolving and build on key insights from previous conferences. The goal is to co-create a space that deepens dialogue and connections across individuals, institutions, and global networks—advancing transformative change through collaboration.
The Call for Contributions is expected to open in the middle of 2026. Updates will be announced in the ITD Alliance News Bulletin and will be available immediately on the ITD27 website: https://itd-alliance.org/itd-conference/itd27/.
