WELCOME
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that we invite you to join us at the 41st CIOSTA 2025 International Conference, which will be held at the Daniel Hotel in Herzliya, Israel, from October 20 to 23, 2025.
The 41st CIOSTA International Conference theme "Agricultural production and management in the era of AI, robotics, and advanced technologies" underscores the importance of collaboration across a wide range of professional disciplines. The conference will highlight significant advances in research and applications in agricultural engineering, production and management. The event will feature oral and poster presentations, exhibition and an arena for networking, discussions and exchanges of information and ideas about state-of-the-art technology. CIOSTA 2025 is an excellent opportunity to make new connection and renew old friendships. We encourage students, researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to submit their work for presentation and to actively engage in discussions that will shape the future of the industry.
