ISTA holds
annual membership meetings and triennial seed testing
congresses. In the membership meetings, named Ordinary
Meeting, the voting delegates designated by their respective
governments decide on changes to the ISTA Rules and other
important matters concerning the Association e.g. constitution
changes or position papers. In addition the chairpersons of
the 17 ISTA Technical Committees give their progress reports
on the activities of their Committee to the ISTA membership.
The Ordinary Meeting is open for everybody.
Every three years the Ordinary
Meeting is combined with the meetings of the ISTA Technical
Committees and a Seed Symposium to an ISTA Seed Testing
Congress. In the meeting of the Technical Committees the
further planning of the work of the Technical Committees is
realized as well as intensive personal discussions on various
technical challenges held. Whereas during the Seed Symposium,
seed scientists from all over the world present the progress
of their research in regard to seed science and technology
orally or with posters in several sessions. |
