THE AUSTRALIAN SOCIETY OF SUGAR CANE TECHNOLOGISTS LIMITED

The Australian Society of Sugar Cane Technologists Limited (ASSCT) is a
leading technical society which provides a forum for scientists, engineers, chemists,
institutions, farmers, companies and individuals interested in sugar cane technology to
publish and discuss current developments as well researching recorded technology.
The ASSCT enjoys the world-wide reputation of premier repository for the public domain
technology of the Australian Sugar Industry.

The ASSCT conducts an annual Conference with more than 80 peer-refereed
technical papers and posters to introduce current RD&E projects and industry practices
and to promote discussions of all aspects of sugar cane and cane sugar technology.
The Conference venue rotates among the sugar cities in Queensland and northern New
South Wales and attracts around 400 delegates from Australia and overseas. In
addition to the technical sessions, a comprehensive partners’ program, technical sitevisits and excursions together with social highlights are always included in the program.

An Industrial Equipment Exhibition, co-ordinated by the ASSCT, showcases the wide
range of goods and services pertinent to the sugar sector in conjunction with the
Conference. The ASSCT Executive Committee, which runs the Society, is composed of the President, Senior Vice-president, Junior Vice-president, Honorary General Secretary
together with the Chairmen and Secretaries of the three sections. The Executive meets
during each Conference and is also responsible for determining the final form of the
official programme, the programming of the technical sessions and the general
arrangements associated with conducting the Conference. Awards and Bursaries are
also presented at the concluding session of the Annual Conference.
