General Topics
To cover a wide range of topics in Soil Sciences, seventeen General Topics (GTs listed below) were identified that should encompass most areas of interest. In addition, the topic, "5th EUSO Stakeholders Forum - Cutting edge developments with the EU Soil Mission", is included for those who submit their work to the event organized by the EU-Soil Observatory, which will take place in parallel on Tuesday, 9th.
When submitting an abstract, the authors will be asked to rank their top two GT preferences for consideration. Specific Scientific Committee (SC) members will handle the GTs. Following the SC's review process, additional subtopics may be introduced for the final program based on the themes received. In addition, the opening of subtopics will also be considered upon request by individual participants or groups. (deadline 31st March 2025, contact us at
