The workshops, organized by Tecnicaña and Cenicaña, are an opportunity for professionals from factories and researchers from different cane agroindustries around the world to meet to exchange and discuss technologies with their peers in an informal environment.

The ISSCT is an association of scientists, technologists, managers, institutions and companies / corporations concerned with the technical advancement of the cane sugar industry and its co-products.

The Association is governed by an Executive Committee of ten members, elected every three years by the Council in which there are representatives of the different affiliated companies (26). The Executive Committee designates a Technical Program Committee that is in charge of supervising the technical activities of congresses and workshops.
