The WCSS has been held quadrennially since 1927 as a scientific meeting in the field of soil science. As the most highly acclaimed meeting of its field, 20WCSS is expected to gather a large number of scientists and industry together from around the world. For 20WCSS we expect over 2500 participants from more than 100 countries around the world.

20WCSS will be an excellent learning experience for all participants. Under the theme, “Soils Embrace Life and Universe,” a wide range of scientific programs and stimulating social activities will be organized. In addition, renowned experts will address the pertinent issues and technological advances in the broad areas of soil science throughout the meeting. Furthermore, participants will have a great opportunity to network through extensive discussions and informative exchanges.

We truly believe 20WCSS will be a highly rewarding international festival for every one of the participants and will bring enhancement of the scientific level and quality to our field. Additionally, we encourage you to take this chance to enjoy the many attractions of beautiful Jeju Island.
