Description: The 4th EUCARPIA workshop “Implementing Plant-Microbe Interactions in Plant Breeding” will foster the dialogue between scientists from different disciplines and breeding value chain members who share the vision of making holobiont considerations a reality in breeding and propagation practices.

Registration for the Workshop:

  • miCROPe symposium participants can register and pay for the workshop inside the miCROPe registration system after registering for the main symposium.
  • If you only want to register for the workshop alone and not for the main miCROPe symposium please use the supplied registration link from the flyer PDF linked below instead.

WORKSHOP ON THE NEEDS BY INDUSTRY REGARDING REGISTRATION OF MICROBIAL PLANT BIOSTIMULANTS IN THE EU, July. 15, 2024, Schönbrunn, Vienna, Austria

SHAPE THE FUTURE OF THE NEW FPR
Satellite event to miCROPe 2024

Flyer iamge

Description
The AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, as entrusted by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship, and SMEs, is conducting a technical study concerning the assessment of safety and environmental risks as well as the agronomic efficiency of microorganisms used as plant biostimulants. This technical study aims to facilitate the incorporation of additional microorganisms into Component Material Category (CMC) 7, as stipulated in Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 (Fertilising Products Regulation, FPR).

The workshop “How to amend CMC 7 of the new FPR” will gather relevant industry stakeholders to collect their views and identify specific needs to assist in the future development of the FPR. In dialogue between scientists and representatives from fertiliser and biologicals industry sectors, we will develop guiding principles for shaping the regulatory future of microbial plant biostimulants in Europe.
