 European Turfgrass Society-ETS
• To provide a forum for private companies and experts (green keepers, technicians, researchers) having as subject the Science of Turf, to exchange ideas and develop synergistic partnerships Europe-wide (EU and non-EU) and ultimately enhance funding opportunities for research. • To Spread innovative applications for the benefit of (a) the turf grass industry, (b) governments, and (c) the European public. • To encourage a ‘systemic approach' to the study of turf grass, where multi-disciplinary teams  approach turf roles and functions at different levels, from genetic studies to investigations of the whole ecological system. • To consider turf knowledge in its broadest sense, viz. functional areas of sport and leisure, its role in the urban quality and in mitigation of environmental alterations. • Develop a strong ethos for research to increase and promote sustainable, low input systems and solutions according to a conscious use of not renewable resources. To promote international collaboration at all levels within the turf industry, the 1st European Turfgrass Society Conference (ETSC) will address some of today's vital issues. Based in Pisa, Italy the Conference will run from Monday 19th to Tuesday 20th May, 2008. Marco Volterrani, Head of the ETS Conference Organizing Committee and President of the ETS, says: "Scientific and technical papers being presented will include details of the latest innovations and current research being carried out throughout Europe. All those involved in the turfgrass industry, will find tremendous benefit from sharing in this pool of knowledge." The comprehensive programme includes top presentations, together with a highly informative turf tour. Three key European bodies; the European Turfgrass Society (ETS), Centre for Research on Turfgrass for Environment and Sports (CeRTES) and Asti Incentives and Congressi (AIC), have been instrumental in organizing this key event. Their aim is to unify the development of turf for sports, amenity and ornamental applications, by creating this opportunity to access a Europe-wide base of knowledge and skills.
