In cooperation with the Hungarian Institute of Agricul­tural Engineering, Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, Gödöl­lő University of Agricultural Sciences. Subject-matter: Mechaniza­tion of production processes in Agriculture. Purpose: Presenting the achievements of researches in Hungary and abroad, related with the mechanization of agriculture. The plenary session was opened by Dr. Csaba Székely, Rector of GATE (Gödöllő Uni­versity of Agricultural Sciences) on the first day of the two-day con­ference, followed by a lecture de­livered by Dr. Ferenc Kovács, ordinary member of MTA (Hunga­rian Academy of Sciences), chair­man of the Department of Agri­cultural Sciences, on the problems of the development of agriculture as reflected by the contributions of the Academy. The Academy’s pro­gram of joining Europe. Therefore, it is going to mobilize the scientif­ic committees of the Department of Agricultural Sciences and the scientists working in the fields of agriculture. A scientific explo­ration work is initiated with the in Gödöllő objective of highlighting the cru­cial tasks to be performed by Hun­gary in making preparations for joining Europe (laws, product standards, quality recommenda­tions and requirements etc.). The second lecture was deliv­ered by Dr. József Hajdú, director of the Ministry’s Institute of Technology. Emphasizing the major conclusions of lectures delivered at the Section’s ses­sions, he spoke about the tasks to be performed in the near future in the field of agrotechnical devel­opment (environment, quality, management) as well as about the technical potentials (automation, electronization, GPS), mention­ing the major sectors and tech­nologies. István Bölöni com­memorated the activities and major works of Viktor Tallmayer, the agricultural scientist, who had been born 150 years ago. Viktor Tallmayer was a re­searcher at and head of the FIRST HUNGARIAN ROYAL AGRI­CULTURAL MACHINE TEST­ING STATION AT ÓVÁR for over 30 years in the latter half of the 1800’s. The plenary session was fol­lowed by consultations in 8 sec­tions discussing the following subject-matters. - Field plant-growing technologies - Mechanization of the growing of horticultural cultures - Technologies for the prepara­tion and processing of animal feeds/fodders - Anima-keeping technologies and the environment - Basic researches in agricultural engineering - Economic issues of agricultural production - Testing agricultural machinery, measurement technical procedures the The ninth subject-matter was FORUM of MACHINE MANUFACTURERS, at which new entrepreneurs and specialists of new business ventures infor­med the audience about their achievements and new products that deserve public interest. The primary objective of the organizing committee is to propa­gate the new research achieve­ments as well as to enable the members of the young generation to present their papers to the public. The Conference is designed primarily to deal with researches in Hungary, but the organizers were greatly pleased to host 30-35 research workers from the neighbouring countries attending the conference every year to deliver lectures or present posters (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, the Ukraine, Lithuania, Croatia, Rumania). This year Rumanian colleagues attended the Confer­ence in largest number, from universities and research insti­tutes at Temesvár, Kolozsvár and Nagybánya. Of the 158 lectures of the Conference, 69 were delivered in the Sections, the rest accompa­nied the presentations of posters. The Conference was attended by 350-400 interested people during the two days. The lectures delivered at the Conference will be published by the organizers in a collection, too.
