About IWSS, WSSC-CSPP
The International Weed Science Society (IWSS) was formed in 1975 by individuals from Europe, North America, South America, and the Asian-Pacific area, to deal with global weed science issues.
The IWSS is a worldwide scientific organization, open to all who are interested in weeds and their control. The formation of IWSS was promoted actively by the six existing regional weed science societies.
The purpose of IWSS is to supplement and complement their vital role and to provide a global forum for scientific discussion and collaboration. Additionally, IWSS provides benefits and functions of a weed science society not currently existing at a national or regional level.
The Society has held five highly successful international Weed Science Congresses; in Australia (1992), Denmark (1996), Brazil (2000), South Africa (2004), and Canada (2008).
The VIth International Weed Science Congress will be held in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, in collaboration with the Weed Science Society of China, CSPP (WSSC-CSPP).
The WSSC-CSPP, formed in 1981, is a non-profit professional society dedicated to the study and understanding of weeds, and their impact on the agricultural landscape and to disseminate weed science knowledge across China. WSSC-CSPP members are dedicated to a proactive approach to issues related to weed management.
