On Friday, 28 November 2025, the call for sessions will open for the IGC 2027: researchers are invited to submit proposals for conference sessions. Further information about the conference and submission deadlines can be found on the conference website: www.igc2027.org.
From 13 to 18 June 2027, the Leibniz-Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), the Julius Kühn Institute (JKI) and the Thünen Institute (TI) will host the XXVI International Grassland Congress (IGC) in Leipzig. The topic of IGC 2027 will be "100 years of grassland research – ways to the future".
The congress will present diverse aspects of natural grasslands and those managed at varying intensities, including the cultivation and use of other forage crops. Sustainable development of on-farm food production will be discussed, as well as the benefits of grassland management for society as a whole, especially for the environment and the preservation of biodiversity.
The IGC offers scientists, students and representatives from industry, extension services and farms the opportunity to exchange the latest research findings and experiences on grassland every three to five years at different locations around the world. In 2027, the congress will celebrate its 100th anniversary in Leipzig.
