On behalf of the organizing committee, I wish to take this opportunity to invite you to attend the 34th Annual Congress of the Postgraduate Institute of Agriculture (PGIA), University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, which will be held on November 17th and 18th, 2022 in Peradeniya, Sri Lanka.
The Annual Congress is the most important event in the PGIA calendar. The 34th PGIA Annual Congress will continue the long tradition of gathering postgraduate students, academia, and scientists from all over the world for discussion of priority research areas in agriculture, dissemination of salient information, and networking.
With this year's PGIA Congress, we stimulate the exchange of information and ideas among researchers from around the world and working on a wide spectrum of disciplines and perspectives around the common theme of Smart Agriculture for Sustainable Farming. Conference sessions will be designed to find common interests and create synergy among the different disciplines. They will include oral and poster presentations assembled into several thematic areas. The oral and poster presenters exhibiting high standards of professional excellence will be recognized with awards.
You are invited to submit a full paper if your research is leading towards a postgraduate degree, which is ongoing or completed after 31st July 2020, and is an original work that has not been published or is currently being considered for publication elsewhere. Accepted manuscripts after a thorough peer review process will be recommended for either an oral presentation or a poster presentation. Papers presented in the congress will be considered for publication in the peer-reviewed, quarterly Journal "Tropical Agricultural Research", which is now indexed in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), AGORA, J-Gate, and EBSCO with full papers available in Sri Lanka Journals Online (www.tar.sljol.info).
We are looking forward to meeting postgraduate student researchers from all over the world for an exciting and varied scientific program. The Inaugural Session of the Congress is graced by distinguished guests, including the Vice Chancellor of the University, the Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture and an eminent scientist as the keynote speaker. The Chief Guest for the Inauguration Session will always be a highly renowned and prestigious person to highlight, both in existing and prospective academic collaborations and other related matters. Several world-renowned eminent scientists will conduct invited sessions.
In addition to an engaging scientific program, there will be time for social events. We hope you will attend the 34th Annual Congress and mark the date in your calendar. On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am looking forward to meeting you in Peradeniya, Sri Lanka.
