CRDC is a proud foundation sponsor of Australian cotton's biggest event – the Australian Cotton Conference – underway this week at the Gold Coast. And when we say big, we mean BIG: almost 2900 people, cotton's biggest conference yet!
Across three days, around 50 CRDC-supported researchers, CRDC directors and team members have been taking to the stage to talk cotton research. Today (Thurs 8 Aug), CRDC and Cotton Australia are co-chairing a two-part session on the future of Australian cotton. Don't miss it!
