International Conference Agricultural Engineering 71. Internationale Tagung Landtechnik

November 8-9, 2013

The 71st Conference LAND TECHNIK - AgEng 2013 is organized in joined cooperation with the VDI Max-Eyth-Society for Agricultural Engineering (VDI-MEG) and the European Society of Agricultural Engineers (EurAgEng). In the tradition of recent years, the conference is arranged prior to the world’s leading fair on agricultural machinery, the AGRITECHNICA in Hannover, which will start on November 10.

With 850 participants in 2011, when visitors from 31 nations were registered, the conference is one of the most important meeting points for the international community of agricultural engineers. It provides a unique opportunity to discuss most recent technical solutions from research and product development within the technical innovation background of AGRITECHNICA.

This year´s motto “Components and Systems for Better Solutions” underlines the importance of suppliers in the machine development and manufacturing process as well as in the extensive after sales services. Pursuing the ultimate ambition to increase productivity and efficiency with less energy input and to improve the complex process chains of agricultural economies, a well structured network between suppliers and manufacturers is necessary. Therefore the conference will give an excellent platform to discuss new and better solutions concerning components, systems, machines and processes.

The topics include all important working fields of agricultural engineering:

• Tractors
• Power train, electric drives and mobile hydraulics
• Agricultural information technology, precision farming, software engineering and data handling
• Automation, electronic components and sensors, locating, tracking and navigation
• Soil protection, tillage and sowing
• Harvesting technology
• Sustainable energy
• Industrial product development and market service

The language of the conference will be English.

Deadline for abstract submission: March 7th, 2013. Abstract Submission will open in early January.
