Your Research Deserves a Global Stage. Here's How to Get It There.

You have spent months or even years researching. Maybe you are a PhD researcher with some exciting lab results. Or you might be a farmer with new practices that can help your community survive the climate crisis. You know this work needs to be out there. The world of sustainable rice systems depends on it. ORP-5 is the place to do this. Here is how.

What Type Of Research Does ORP-5 Want?

The key is ORP-5 is no ordinary agricultural conference. This is the leading international event dedicated to the intersection of organic and natural rice production systems. If you are studying food security, climate change adaptation, or any other aspects of this unique ecosystem, then chances are you have something of interest to share. Your niche area may very well correspond to one of the following conference themes.

ORP-5 covers everything from soil and water ecosystems, through the latest advances in agronomy and biochemistry, to AI-driven mechanisation. From climate resilience of organic systems to value chains in the market sector. Be a PhD student or a farmer-innovator, a policy maker or a field researcher, there will always be a place for your findings at ORP-5.

The only criteria for accepting your work are the following: original research, never published anywhere or presented before at other conferences.

"All submitted papers must be based on original research and should not have been previously submitted for publication or presented at another conference. At least one of the authors must register for the conference before the deadline."

Some Tips On Making The Best Submission

The committee looks for clarity, originality and significance of the paper. Do not just assume that the reviewers will be specialists in your area. Tell us explicitly why your research is vital for the field of sustainable rice systems, farmer communities and climate change adaptation. Try to use as less specialist terminology as possible.

Special attention should be paid to the emerging video presentations. If your research includes visuals or farm demos, video presentation is your way to shine!

Oh, and don't forget your paper should be written in English only!
