BreedingValue consortium at final meeting in Ancona
BreedingValue Final Meeting, April 2025
The BreedingValue consortium gathered from April 1-2, 2025 in Ancona, Italy for its final project meeting. The event was hosted by the coordinating institution of BreedingValue, the Marche Polytechnic University (UPM).
During this last internal meeting, all project partners presented their results achieved during the last 4,5 years of BreedingValue. These presentations were followed by in-depth discussions around the different Work Packages focusing on the valorization and sustainability of project results.
On April 2-3, 2025 the BreedingValue consortium invited to its final Workshop "Advancing Berry Breeding: From Phenotyping to Genomic Innovation" where results from the genotyping and phenotyping activities as well as the consumer study perspective of BreedingValue were presented. With 120 attendees joining the workshop in-person in Ancona and online, the final workshop was a great success.
Rounded-off by a demonstration visit to the BreedingValue partner C.I.V., the final project event was concluded on April 4, 2025. The demonstration tour included the visit of the experimental fields at C.I.V. in Ferrara, a visit to the micropropagation laboratory and greenhouse at Vivaio Salvi in Lagosanto, as well as a visit to the strawberry plant processing warehouse and preparation of potted plants at the Mazzoni Nursery in Tresigallo.
With the project ending in June this year, this was the last occasion for the BreedingValue consortium to get together, but certainly not the last occasion to present and discuss the achievements made during the last 4,5 year of BreedingValue. Stay tuned for more information to come!
