The DSSAT Foundation, in collaboration with the Technical University ofMunich (TUM) and the University of Florida,  is planning to host theDSSAT 2026 European Program from September 7 through September 12, 2026at the World Agricultural Systems Center -  Hans Eisenmann Forum of theTechnical University of Munich in Freising, Germany. The overall goal ofthe workshop is to familiarize the workshop participants with theDecision Support System for Agrotechnology Transfer (DSSAT v4.8.x); theCropping System Model (CSM) for the simulation of crop growth and yield,soil and plant water, nutrient, and carbon dynamics; and the applicationof models [...]

Dear DSSAT Community,We would be grateful if you could circulate the following opportunity through the DSSAT community network, as we believe it will be of particular interest to crop modellers, agricultural systems researchers, climate scientists, and interdisciplinary scholars working at the nexus of climate change, agriculture, nutrition, and health.We are inviting applications for the CLIMAKID Hands-on Science Workshop entitled "Attributing Climate Change Impacts on Child Nutrition and Health."The workshop will take place from 17-26 November 2026 in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, and is organized by the Centre Suisse de Recherches Scientifiques en Côte d'Ivoire (CSRS).

Many people in the DSSAT community have struggled with organizing dataeither from their own experiments or from colleagues compiling the datarequired to fully document field experiments. We have developed aspreadsheet template for datasets from field studies. The focus is onresearch to identify best management practices in Florida, but the formatcan be easily adapted to other studies. The work is described in thisrecently published paper: https://authors.elsevier.com/a/1n8kQcFCSiv6a<https://kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F%2Fauthors.elsevier.com%2Fa%2F1n8kQcFCSiv6a/1/0102019e51660a9d-a3261e0e-c3f7-4d81-9247-947fa6d4690f-000000/fQhICe_oaIvWZM8QEyGQk5gpxsU=473>The paper includes links to a blank template, video tutorials, and exampledatasets.An important innovation in the approach is the inclusion of R scripts tofacilitate data [...]

Dear Colleagues,The Precision Irrigation Management (PRIMA) Laboratory of the University of Nevada, Reno invites applicants for a M.Sc. graduate research assistantship. The selected applicant will conduct research regarding the optimal use of water for the irrigation of crops in arid and semiarid areas. Research topics include precision (variable rate) irrigation, the development and implementation of sensor- and crop modeling-based irrigation scheduling methods, and the application of artificial intelligence and optimization methods for the solution of problems in water and irrigation management.
