Ground Breaking Technologies for Sustainable Agriculture: Digitalization of Crop Biodiversity

The Representation of the State of Saxony-Anhalt to the European Union, together with the Ministry of Economy, Science and Digitalization of the State of Saxony-Anhalt, and the Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research, cordially invite you to attend the colloquium.

The event will provide a forum for discussion of the opportunities plant phenotyping technologies provide towards the digitalization of cop Biodiversity conserved in European gene banks in terms of its impact on the development of a more sustainable agricultural praxis in the EU. The addressed issues will include, the latest technological developments of plant phenotyping, its accessibility for scientists of academia and industry within the European Research Area, research funding and the innovation potential they provide for plant breeding and agricultural praxis.
