As part of the Congress, there will be an opportunity to broadly exchange views and discuss scientists and practitioners from Poland and abroad. Post-congress applications will be forwarded to institutions of various levels, which are responsible for soil protection and management of soil resources, coordination of soil research and education. The congress will bring benefits from the dissemination of the results of the latest scientific research and development works in the field of soil science and environmental protection. The exchange of experiences will increase the awareness of the state of knowledge and scientific research in the field of soil science among scientists from Polish and foreign centers. The aim of the Congress will also be to strengthen cooperation with representatives of foreign soil science societies. The Congress will give an excellent opportunity to present to scientists from around the world the scientific potential and the results of research conducted by Polish researchers who, in the context of research on soils transformed as a result of anthropopressure, are among the world's leaders.
