Agência FAPESP – São Paulo State University’s School of Agrarian and Veterinarian Sciences (FCAV-UNESP) in Jaboticabal, Brazil, is organizing the São Paulo School of Advanced Science (SPSAS) on Precision Livestock Farming, to be held on October 15-24, 2024. Anyone interested should apply not later than January 20 via the event website: sites.google.com/unesp.br/plfschool/applications?authuser=0.
The SPSAS is funded by FAPESP and will bring together Brazilian and foreign scientists to inspire graduate students and young researchers to explore various aspects of precision livestock farming in depth.
The main aim is to find solutions that optimize production management via real-time continuous automated control of aspects such as animal productivity, environmental impacts, and animal health and welfare.
The organizers’ strategic plan entails delivering short courses on machine learning, statistical tools and database systems to ensure participants are “on the same page” with regard to key content and practical applications of precision livestock farming in Brazil and worldwide.
One hundred participants will be selected – 50 from any part of Brazil and 50 from other countries. The organizers will cover their expenses.
Applications will be analyzed by the organizing and scientific committees. Selection will be based on the applicants’ résumés, school records, motivation, research project abstracts, and letters of recommendation from supervisors or tutors.
Applicants’ home countries will also be considered, so as to assure the inclusion of participants from all continents.
The organizing and scientific committees aim to achieve gender equality in the participating group. The list of selected applicants will be published on February 20.
The venue for the event will be:
São Paulo State University
School of Agrarian and Veterinarian Sciences (FCAV-UNESP)
Via de Acesso Professor Paulo Donato Castellane, s/n
