XXIV IGC and XI IRC Congress Oct 2021

8am Monday 15 November
6pm Monday 29 November, 2021

Event Postponed until 2021

The Joint XXIV IGC and XI IRC congress will be held in Nairobi, Kenya, October 23 – 29, 2021.

The National Organizing Committee, together with the International Grassland and Rangeland Organizing Committees, would like to express sincere thanks for the great interest and support shown towards the Joint XXIV IGC and XI IRC Congress. More than 1000 abstracts have been received and reviewed and process of full paper submission is on-going.

However, based on the current worldwide situation with Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and measures taken by many countries to minimize the effects of this virus, the National Organizing Committee, in consultation with the International Organizing Committees has decided to postpone the joint XXIV IGC and XI IRC Congress by a period of one year. This difficult decision has been taken after consideration of all available information from the WHO and various country ministries of health, and the international travel bans, and in some cases complete lock down. Registration to the Joint XXIV IGC and XI IRC Congress remains open.

The Congress is now scheduled for 23rd to 29th October 2021 at the same venue - The Kenyatta International Convention Centre, Nairobi Kenya.

The National Organizing Committee would like to clarify the following:

· All abstracts which have been accepted will continue to be processed, and full paper submission process will continue to take place. The new deadline for paper submission will be announced soon.

· For those who have already paid for registration/tours, their payments will remain valid until we hold the congress.

· Concerning accommodation, delegates are advised to contact the hotels directly for alternative arrangements as per the respective hotel’s policy.

· For questions regarding abstracts and full paper submissions, or any other concern, please contact the Congress Secretariat by email at: kenya2020-igc-irc@kalro.org and kenya2020igcirc@gmail.com

The National Organizing Committee apologizes for any inconvenience caused by this postponement due to factors beyond its control.
