Scientists & entrepreneurs urge EU Commission, EU Parliament & Member States to recognize the importance of a substantial ring-fenced budget for an EU Research & Innovation Programme, independent from Competitiveness Fund. Sign the open letter bit.ly/4kzL4pi #FP10 #MFF
💡DYK? To date, the @planttreaty's Benefit-sharing Fund invested in 108 projects in 78 developing countries, reaching over 1 million people, from small-scale #farmers, researchers, breeders to students and academics. ➡ bit.ly/3IyozmE #ItAllStartsWithTheSeed #BSF
The jury's still out on whether this will be the earliest harvest we can all remember at Scottish Agronomy. If the weather co-operates, Douglas is hoping to start cutting in the Borders on 16th this year. When is the earliest harvest you remember? Will this year be earlier still?
Call for Collaborative Ideas for Applications of AI in Plant Phenotyping! The IPPN Working Group on Applications of AI in Plant Phenotyping invites to propose collaborative ideas & projects. We see value in collaboration. Link to form: tinyurl.com/38rcyjpr #plantscience #AI
ISE welcomes the EC proposal for the next Horizon EU as a self-standing Framework Programme for R&I with double budget. ISE urges next HE should be linked to but neither determined nor managed by the ECF. bit.ly/46O3jDm Sign the ISE open letter bit.ly/4kzL4pi
