Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to the international and interdisciplinary conference:
"Mixing crops, varieties, disciplines, and know-hows for agroecology" October 7–9, 2026 — ENS Paris-Saclay, France
This meeting will bring together researchers from genetics to economics, to explore how within-field crop diversification can promote ecosystem services and drive the agroecological transition. The programme includes an interdisciplinary plenary day with renowned invited speakers, followed by two days of parallel sessions — including symposia on genetics of social interactions, host/pathogen coevolution, soil ecology, and ecophysiological modelling.
Key Dates
- Abstract submission deadline: June 15, 2026
- Early bird registration deadline: July 15, 2026
Full programme and registration: https://mix4agroecology.colloque.inrae.fr/
We strongly encourage early-career researchers to submit an abstract for a selected talk slot. 
 We would greatly appreciate your help in circulating this announcement within your lab and networks.
Just as in agroecology, the most fertile ground for ideas is a diverse and well-mixed community — we very much look forward to seeing you in Paris-Saclay!
Best wishes,
Jérôme Enjalbert and Jean-Benoît Morel, for the Organizing Committee
