The first symposium of the ISRR, focusing on 'Root ecology and its practical application', took place in Austria in 1982 under the leadership of Professor Dr Lore (Eleanore) Kutschera and her scientific group. During the last four decades, seven further international ISRR symposia have brought together root scientists from many different disciplines and nationalities.
