In July 2009:

IPI-Corvinus University Budapest international symposium on "Nutrient management and nutrient demand of energy plants", 6-9 July 2009, Budapest, Hungary.
The symposium will be jointly organized by IPI and Corvinus University Budapest. The venue of the event is Mercure Hotel, Budapest, Hungary. Topics will include quality requirements of crops for biofuels, new and traditional crops for biofuels, energy and CO₂ balance of crops grown for biofuels, and optimal crop rotation and nutrient balance for biofuel plants. The post-symposium tour will be to a biofuels plant and farmers growing energy crops. Registration fee will cover participation at all oral and poster presentations, welcome reception, lunch, morning and afternoon coffee break during the two symposium days, and symposium dinner. The post-symposium tour will be charged separately. For more details see IPI website or contact IPI Coordinator Dr. T. Popp.

In November 2009:

IPI-OUAT-IPNI international symposium on "Potassium role and benefits in improving nutrient management for food production, quality and reduced environmental damages", 5-7 November 2009, Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT), Bhubaneswar, India.
The symposium will be organized by the International Potash Institute (IPI), International Plant Nutrition Institute (IPNI), and the Orissa University of Agriculture & Technology (OUAT).
