Biopesticides represent a revolution in pest management. Unlike traditional chemical pesticides, these natural alternatives harness the power of biology such as plants, animals, bacteria, and fungi to protect crops, safeguard ecosystems, and ensure a healthier future. In the ever-evolving landscape of agriculture and pest management biopesticides are a transformative solution in biocontrol of crops. This innovative alternative is redefining the way we protect our crops, ensuring sustainable agriculture practices, and minimizing the ecological footprint of pest control.
ACI's Biopesticide Europe 2024 conference will be taking place on the 5th & 6th of June 2024 in Barcelona, Spain. The two-day event will bring together industry leaders, researchers, innovators, and stakeholders from around the world and aims to explore the exciting advancements, challenges, and opportunities shaping the Biopesticide industry. ACI's Biopesticide Europe 2024 conference will serve as a platform for thought-provoking discussions, knowledge sharing, and collaboration among a diverse range of businesses and stakeholders.

The plant BioProTech and the IOBC-WPRS Working Group "Induced Resistance in Plants Against Insects and Diseases" (IOBC-IR) are joining forces to build an exceptional symposium next June 17-20th, 2024 in Castellon de la Plana, Spain.
The joint symposium will gather expert from both scientific and industry sector to exchange and build collaboration in the sector of agriculture and in particular, in the development, formulation and distribution of bioproducts (e.g.: elicitors, biocontrol agents, biostimulants). The new edition of the events represents an ideal moment, for researchers and industrials, to meet, discuss and share their latest results, developments and innovations and build tomorrow's partnerships.
Topics particularly targeted:

The 2024 congress, co-organized by CABI and IOBC-Global, builds on the 1st International Congress of Biological Control (Beijing, 2018), the 1st International Conference of Biological Control (Bengaluru, 2018) and the 2nd International Congress of Biological Control (Davos, 2021).
ICBC3 will provide a platform for multi and inter-disciplinary biological control research and application. This congress will be co-organized locally by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock of Costa Rica which promotes the use of biological control approaches as a sustainable method for the management of key indigenous and introduced pests.
This congress is unique in serving as a meeting point for scientists and practitioners who are working on a wide breadth of biological control targets including insect pests, plant and animal diseases, weeds and invasive vertebrates whether they use importation, augmentation or conservation as approaches and whether they are interested in basic science related to biological control or in improving applications.

This World Congress represents a unique opportunity for mycologists from around the world to get together and enjoy excellent science in one of Europe's most impressive cities.
This four-day meeting will include keynote lectures by scientific leaders, bridging sessions and workshops in seven themes: Cell biology, biochemistry and physiology; Environment, ecology and interactions; Evolution, biodiversity and systematics; Fungal pathogenesis and disease control; Genomics, genetics and molecular biology; Applied Mycology and Nomenclature.
Biological control research will be presented and discussed at several sessions of this congress.
The main aims of the International Mycological Congress are to engage the youth, facilitate face-to-face meetings, and to organize hands-on workshops in mycology.

Since the first conference was held in Brussels, Belgium in 1910, it has been held almost every four years, except during the turmoil of World War II. The first congress to be held in Asia, was the 16th ICE in Kyoto, Japan in 1980. It has been decided that the 27th Congress in 2024 will be held at the Kyoto International Conference Center, sponsored by the Japan Insect Science Association.
