The presentation "An update from the euroCRIS Board" delivered by the euroCRIS President Jan Dvořák at the end of yet another successful euroCRIS membership meeting an the INRAE in Paris offered information on the venues (and occasionally the dates) for forthcoming euroCRIS events.
The next euroCRIS meeting will be the Spring 2025 Membership Meeting (MM2025), to be held May 13-15, 2025 in Leuven (Belgium). That will be followed by the Autumn 2025 meeting at the İzmir Institute of Technology (IZTECH) in Türkiye. Finally, the host for the CRIS2026 Conference will be the University of Novi Sad in Serbia.
Call for proposals for these events will be put out to euroCRIS members as the meetings draw nearer.
