Tropentag 2016 will be organised by the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences (BOKU Vienna), Austria. The conference venue will be in Vienna, Austria. All students, Ph.D. students, scientists, extension workers, decision makers, politicians and practical farmers, interested and engaged in agricultural research and rural development in transition and developing countries are invited to participate and to contribute.

The Tropentag 2016 conference theme is "Solidarity in a competing world - fair use of resources". This year the call for papers addresses prospective procedures for solidarity and the fair use of increasingly scarce natural and non-renewable resources around the world. Focus is given to the rising demand for food, fiber, feed and fuel to cover the needs of a growing world population and to innovative sustainable practices, e.g. organic farming, and new economies and policies.
