The call for abstracts for the 2026 Soil Science Australia National Conference is open! The conference will be held in Perth, Western Australia from 1–5 November at the Pan Pacific Hotel.
Bringing together more than 450 delegates across science, policy, industry and community, the conference will explore soils as the foundation of productivity, security, community and resilience. The conference theme is ‘Common Ground: Soils for the Anthropocene’.
The Soil CRC is a Silver Sponsor of this year’s event and will host a special conference session on our research achievements.
“This will be the last national soils conference during the lifetime of the Soil CRC, and we are pleased to be able to share our achievements with Australia’s soil science community through this forum,” Soil CRC CEO Dr Michael Crawford said.
“This is also an opportunity for our researchers and PhD students to ‘report back’ to our soil colleagues across Australia. We look forward to seeing you there and celebrating our successes with you.”
