Dear friends and colleagues,
We cordially invite you to participate in the Fifth International Legume Society Conference, which will take place from 8 to 12 June 2026 in the beautiful city of Dubrovnik in Croatia.
Following up the successful conferences in Novi Sad (2013), Tróia (2016), Poznań (2019) and Granada (2023), this conference will be organized by the International Legume Society in cooperation with the University of Zagreb Faculty of Agriculture.
The ILS5 Conference will be a new opportunity to share the latest advances and innovations in the field of legumes, learn about the latest industry offerings and network with colleagues and experts from around the world.
The scientific sessions will be rich and diverse including presentations by international legume experts in breeding and genomics, high throughput phenotyping, cropping systems, biotic and abiotic stess resistances, health and nutrition, pulse crop value chains, and more. The much anticipated legume football cup will be a highlight, as will be the gala dinner!
Plan to include the ILS5 Conference in your busy agenda and come to explore with us the exciting world of legumes.
Join us in beautiful Dubrovnik one of the most famous destinations in the Mediterranean, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in recognition of its outstanding mediaeval architecture and fortified old town.
