4th International Congress of the European Soil Science Societies Eurosoil 2012: Soil Science for the Benefit of Mankind and Environment will be held in Bari, Italy on 2-6 July, 2012. The Congress will focus on and develop the various aspects of fundamental and applied soil science and technology, field approaches and social, economical and political implications in relation to the present and future needs and emergencies of mankind and environment. Special emphasis will be devoted to the fundamental role of soil as a central ecosystem and instrumental but limited and sensible resource for a correct, sustainable and harmonized development of mankind and its benefit and welfare.

The Congress structure is based on a very general thematic framework, in which various symposia, workshops, roundtables, open debates, short courses, technical specialized meetings and/or demonstrations, and business meetings are included upon received proposals. Any accepted event will be held in one of the 6 main meeting halls of the venue, and will be reasonably distributed along the time schedule of the event.
The Congress is scientifically structured on bottom-up proposals received from scientists, educators, and decision makers involved in soil science and related disciplines. This approach will strongly contribute to bringing in new and updated ideas, to develop strategic topics and actual and modern issues that hold promise and need further investigation.

The Congress will be opened by 3 plenary Lectures up on invitation, and its scientific structure will be articulated in 13 main Topics including 63 Symposia and 6 Workshops. Further 3 roundtables, 1 Open Debate, 2 Short Courses, 1 Technical Meeting, 1 Technical Demonstration and 5 Business Meetings will be held.
