Sborník abstraktů z kongresu, který se uskutečnil v Québec City (Kanada) v červnu 2010.

Ve dnech 13.–17.6.2010 se uskutečnil v Québec City (Kanada) 17. světový kongres pod názvem “World Congress of the International Commission of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering” (CIGR 2010). Hlavním tématem kongresu byly “Sustainable Biosystems through Engineering”. Vědecký program zahrnoval plenární zasedání, paralelní orální prezentace a výstavu posterů. Program CIGR 2010. Sborník abstraktů ze symposia je v příloze.

Součástí kongresu bylo symposium zaměřené na nanotechnologie: “Symposium on Nanotechnologies Applied to Biosystems Engineering and the Environment”. V rámci tohoto symposia byly prezentovány následující příspěvky:
