Call For Abstract

The Scientific Program Committee of the 11th Olive Oil and Table Olive Congress cordially invites researchers, academics, industry professionals, and students to submit abstracts for oral, short oral, and poster presentations.

The congress aims to provide an international platform for the presentation and discussion of scientific research, technological developments, innovative practices, and interdisciplinary studies related to olives, olive oil, agriculture, food science, sustainability, and associated fields.  

Due to changes in the previous announcement regarding the location and time of the congress, an online (virtual) presentation option is now available for participants who have already made their plans. This option is limited in number. Please write to congress@acgpubs.org for information on available spots. There is no change in participation fees for both virtual and in-person presentations. We look forward to welcoming you in person to Heraklion, a wonderful destination on Crete, for more effective and productive discussions and potential future collaborations.

All abstracts must be submitted in English.
