KIDA KON 2026

The KIDA KON conference series is an essential part of the cross-institutional cooperation of the KIDA collaborative that supports the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Regional Identity (BMLEH). The conference will take place on September 29 and 30, 2026, at the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) in Berlin-Marienfelde.

The free to register, on-site conference is a lunch-to-lunch event starting at 12:00 pm on September 29 with the registration. The programme begins at 1:00 pm. On 30 September, the conference ends at around 12:30 pm, and additional activities such as hands-on-sessions are planned for the afternoon, ending around 4:00 pm. The programme includes keynotes, talks and a poster session. The option to register will be provided soon.

The conference offers an ideal opportunity to explore diverse applications of artificial intelligence in research and practice, as well as the current research landscape, and to connect with colleagues from agriculture, food, and environmental research.
