WELCOME!

On behalf of the Korean Society of Agricultural Engineers, it is my great pleasure and honor to welcome you to the PAWEES 2026 International Conference, to be held from October 18 to 20 at Sejong Hotel in Chuncheon, Korea. This conference brings together distinguished researchers, professionals, and practitioners from around the world to exchange scientific knowledge, innovative ideas, and practical solutions under the theme of “AI-Enabled Climate-Resilient Agricultural Water Systems toward a Carbon-Neutral Future.” As global challenges related to climate change, water scarcity, and sustainable agriculture continue to intensify, this gathering serves as a timely and important platform for advancing interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration.
We are delighted by the strong international interest in this conference and confident that it will foster meaningful discussions, promote cutting-edge research, and strengthen global partnerships in agricultural water management and biosystems engineering.
Beyond the academic program, we warmly invite you to experience the rich culture, history, and natural beauty of Korea. We hope your time in Chuncheon will be both professionally rewarding and personally memorable.
We encourage you to actively participate in the sessions, share your expertise, and build lasting collaborations that will contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future.
Once again, welcome to PAWEES 2026. We look forward to your valuable participation and contributions.
Warm regards,
Sang-Min Kim
President, Korean Society of Agricultural Engineers (KSAE)
