EXPRESSIONS of interest to present papers at the Grains Research and Development Corporation (GRDC) Updates are open until September 28.
The 2027 GRDC Grains Research Update – Perth will be held on February 22 and 23 at Optus Stadium.
The event is a highlight of the grains industry calendar and includes the latest research, technology, market development and innovations.
The EOI opportunity also includes oral presentations for regional Grains Research Updates in Albany, Geraldton, Esperance and Kwinana (East and West).
The website for program coordinator Grains Industry Association of Western Australia (GIWA) reads that, “Presenters/authors will be selected on the basis of the importance of the topic to WA grain growers, with highest priority given to important research or advice that can be applied by growers in the coming season.”
