After the highly attended and successful 13th International Wheat Genetics Symposium in Tulln in April 2017, a new era of international wheat meetings has begun. The previously separated IWGS (International Wheat Genetics Symposia) and IWC (International Wheat Conferences) have merged and decided to organize International Wheat Congresses in two years intervals. The First International Wheat Congress will take place in Saskatoon Canada, July 21-26, 2019.
