EPC 2028 will bring together researchers, industry experts, educators, students and professionals from across Europe and beyond to exchange knowledge, share the latest scientific insights and explore the future of poultry science. Hosted in Rotterdam, a city known for innovation, experimentation and international connectivity, the conference will offer a dynamic platform for discussion, collaboration and inspiration.

The scientific program will focus on key topics in poultry science and the poultry sector, including animal health and welfare, nutrition, incubation, breeding and genetics, sustainability, food quality, economics, production systems and innovation. With around 30 sessions based on the themes of the WPSA Working Groups, EPC 2028 will combine high-level keynote lectures, oral presentations, poster sessions and opportunities for interdisciplinary exchange.

In addition to the scientific program, EPC 2028 will include an exhibition area, sponsorship opportunities and dedicated spaces for networking between science, education and industry. The conference will also pay special attention to early career scientists and professionals, offering opportunities to present research, meet peers and connect with established experts in an informal and encouraging environment.

All this will take place in Rotterdam, a vibrant waterfront city renowned for its bold architecture, innovative spirit and dynamic international atmosphere. As one of Europe's leading hubs for business, sustainability and design, Rotterdam offers excellent public transport, high-speed rail connections and easy access from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. De Doelen ICC is located in the heart of the city, directly opposite Rotterdam Central Station and within walking distance of hotels, restaurants, cultural attractions and the city's iconic waterfront.

We look forward to welcoming the poultry science community to Rotterdam for EPC 2028: five days of science, connection and discovery in one of Europe’s most accessible and innovative conference destinations.
