miCROPe2022 - MICROBE-ASSISTED CROP PRODUCTION-OPPORTUNITIES, CHALLENGE & NEEDS

Dear colleagues, 

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am announcing the miCROPe 2022 symposium “Microbe-assisted crop production – opportunities, challenges and needs” that will take place in Vienna, from 11-14 July 2022. 

The symposium will address basic and applied aspects of applying beneficial microorganisms in crop production; i.e., the different functions of microorganisms in crop production, ranging from biocontrol to nutrition and stress resilience, and most importantly how microbiomes can be translated in field applications. The scientific programme is available at: https://www.micrope.org/program.php

This meeting is selected by the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) to offer grants for congress participation for Early Career Researchers.

Important dates and deadlines:

EUCARPIA WORKSHOP – DEADLINE: May 15
The 3rd EUCARPIA workshop “Implementing Plant-Microbe Interactions in Plant Breeding” will take place following the miCROPe Symposium on July 15 at the UFT Tulln. The workshop will foster multidisciplinary dialogue between scientists, breeders and seed producers sharing the vision of making holobiont considerations a reality in breeding and propagation practices.
