Three days of scientific sessions, workshops, demonstrations and industry dialogue on the AUA campus in Athens — with full remote participation.
About the conference
ICDAAI is a new international scientific conference dedicated to the convergence of Digital Agriculture and Artificial Intelligence. Its mission is to promote excellence in research, innovation, and education, and to strengthen cooperation between academia, industry, policymakers and students.
Unlike a paper-only meeting, ICDAAI deliberately combines scientific rigour with education, Living Labs, innovation ecosystems and European collaboration. The inaugural edition is seeded by the Horizon Europe project TALLHEDA (GA No. 101136578) and is designed to recur with rotating hosts and a permanent governance structure.
Peer-reviewed sessions, keynote lectures, and posters spanning the full breadth of digital agriculture research.
Academia, industry, policy and civil society in one room — including farmers, advisors and start-ups.
Tutorials, a doctoral forum and curriculum-innovation sessions for the next generation of researchers.
A European core with international reach, committed to FAIR data and Open Science practices.

Answers
Practical questions about attending, presenting and travelling to ICDAAI 2027.
Still unanswered?
Write to the Organising Committee and we will reply within five working days.
Contact usYes. Once you have completed and paid your registration, the Local Organising Committee will issue a personalised invitation letter for visa purposes, stating your name, passport number, affiliation, paper title (if applicable) and the dates of the conference.
Please request it at least eight weeks before the conference, as Schengen appointments in some countries take considerable time. The letter confirms your participation only; it is not a guarantee of a visa, and ICDAAI cannot cover visa fees, provide financial guarantees or intervene in national visa procedures.
Yes. ICDAAI 2027 is a genuine hybrid conference. Authors may choose to present live via teleconference, and all main-room sessions are streamed to remote participants. Remote presenters get the same slot length, live Q&A and the same treatment in the proceedings as in-person presenters.
Choose your presentation mode during registration. Remote presenters upload a backup recording one week in advance so that a connection failure does not cost you your session. Posters are additionally shown as e-posters in the online platform.
In-person registration covers access to all three days — keynotes, paper sessions, workshops and tutorials, the poster session and exhibition — plus coffee breaks, lunches, the welcome reception, the conference dinner, conference material and your certificates.
Online-only registration covers live streaming, remote presentation, the digital Book of Abstracts and certificates. It does not include catering or social events. Accommodation and travel are never included. See the registration section for the full matrix.
One full author registration covers one accepted paper. If you are the presenting author of more than one accepted submission, a reduced fee of 50% applies to your second and third paper. Each paper still requires a presenting author to attend its session.
ICDAAI 2027 uses single-blind review: reviewers see author names and affiliations, but reviewer identities are never disclosed to authors. You therefore do not need to anonymise your manuscript.
Each submission is assigned at least two independent reviewers, with a third review requested when the first two disagree. Conflicts of interest are declared and enforced in the submission platform, and final decisions are taken by the Programme Chairs.
Yes, with disclosure. Generative-AI tools may be used for language editing, code assistance or literature exploration, but their use must be stated in an acknowledgement section. AI systems cannot be listed as authors, and the human authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality and integrity of the entire manuscript, including all references.
Keynote lectures and selected sessions will be recorded and published after the conference, subject to the explicit consent of each speaker. Regular paper sessions are streamed live but not archived by default. All recording and photography follows the conference GDPR notice, and you may opt out at registration.
The Organising Committee intends to offer a limited number of travel grants, prioritising students and early-career researchers from Widening countries. Availability depends on sponsorship secured before the conference; eligibility criteria and the application procedure will be announced together with the author notifications in March 2027.

ICDAAI is committed to providing a welcoming, safe and productive environment for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, age, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, career stage or institutional affiliation.
Participants are expected to be respectful and considerate in all conference spaces — sessions, posters, exhibition, social events, online platforms and conference-related social media. Criticism of scientific work should be constructive and directed at ideas, never at people.
Harassment in any form is prohibited. This includes offensive verbal or written comments related to any of the characteristics above; deliberate intimidation, stalking or following; unwanted photography or recording; sustained disruption of talks or events; inappropriate physical contact; unwelcome sexual attention; and advocating for or encouraging any of these behaviours. Sponsors and exhibitors are equally bound by this policy.
If you experience or witness unacceptable behaviour, contact a member of the Organising Committee in person, at the registration desk, or by email at conduct@icdaai.org. Reports are handled confidentially and, where possible, by a designated contact of the reporter's preferred gender. Retaliation against anyone who reports in good faith is itself a violation.
The Organising Committee may take any action it deems appropriate, including a warning, exclusion from a session or from the remainder of the conference without refund, removal of a contribution from the programme, or notification of the person's institution or, where warranted, law enforcement.
This policy is adapted from widely used academic conference codes of conduct and will be finalised by the Organising Committee before registration opens.
ICDAAI is committed to making the conference and this website usable by everyone. We aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA, the standard referenced by EN 301 549 and the EU Web Accessibility Directive.
The site is built to work with keyboard navigation, screen readers and browser zoom up to 400%. All content is reachable without a mouse, colour is never the only way information is conveyed, and text meets AA contrast ratios. Known limitation: an embedded third-party map will be added to the Venue section before launch, and the address is always given as text alongside it.
Session rooms, catering areas and accessible toilets on the AUA campus are step-free or lift-served. Reserved seating is available at the front of every session room. Detailed room-by-room access information will be published with the final programme. TBC
Tell us what you need during registration, or by email at least four weeks in advance, and we will do our best to arrange it: live captioning, a sign-language interpreter, presentation materials in advance, a quiet room, dietary requirements, or assistance moving between rooms. Remote participants can ask questions in writing as well as by voice in every session.
If you hit a barrier on this site or at the conference, write to accessibility@icdaai.org. We aim to reply within five working days and to fix reported problems as quickly as we can.
This statement is a draft prepared alongside the website and must be reviewed, dated and formally adopted by the Organising Committee before launch.
