PigIT > Closing conference
Closing conference
It is a great pleasure to invite our international and Danish connections from science and industry to this event where we share the results and experiences of this seven year research project within the field of precision pig farming. [Download flyer]
Time and venue
The closing conference of the PigIT project will be held at University of Copenhagen on the 13th of November 2018 from 10:00 to 16:00 in the celebration auditorium (A 1-01.01), Bülowsvej 17, DK-1870 Frederiksberg C, Denmark. Separate directions for travel as well as accommodation options are available.
Registration
Registration is now closed. You are, however, welcome to inquire by e-mail about the possibilities for attendance.
Program
The scientific objectives of the project have been to develop and improve methods for
- Model based production and welfare monitoring, and
- Model based decision support
The themes of the program reflect those two objectives, and the day concludes with perspectives for the future.
