General Information

The conference is organized by the Hellenic Association on Information and Communication Technologies in Agriculture, Food & Environment (HAICTA). HAICTA is the Greek branch of the European Federation for Information Technology in Agriculture (EFITA). Until now, HAICTA has organized a series of nine successful conferences.
 
HAICTA 2022 aims to bring together professionals, experts and researchers working on Agriculture, Food and Environment, emphasizing on the applicability of ICT solutions and innovations to real industry cases and the respective challenges.
 
2022 marks the 20th Anniversary of HAICTA Conferences, since the very first of the series was held in 2002 in Athens, Greece. After organizing the following HAICTA Conferences in 8 different cities around Greece during these years, we decided to return HAICTA 2022 back to its roots, in Athens, celebrating 20 years of successful International Conferences on Information and Communication Technologies in Agriculture, Food & Environment.

Hybrid Model

HAICTA 2022 will be the 2nd Conference in the series to offer both in-person attendance, remote participation and live streaming for those who won't be able to attend, giving the chance for an even wider audience. Authors will have the option to either present in-person at the Conference or remotely through teleconferencing.
