The Big, the Small, the Unexpected: Perspectives of Breeding Research

Highlighting cutting-edge advances from the big picture of GxE and genomic prediction to the fine-scale insights of stress physiology, long-read sequencing, and targeted insect resistance, our interdisciplinary workshop brings together diverse breeding perspectives across species and scales. Our engaging sessions - "The environment matters", "It's all about data", and "New breeding targets and species" - highlight unexpected innovations shaping future breeding research.
Join leading researchers and emerging voices for two days of exchange and innovation.
