Highlights from the 3rd Annual Meeting of the Shield4Grape project
The meeting was held in Lisbon at the Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa from 18 to 20 March.
The annual meeting is a key milestone for the consortium, providing an opportunity to:
– present the latest progress of our work
– align on upcoming steps
– strengthen collaboration across partners
This edition was particularly important as it followed the project’s mid-term evaluation by the European Commission — and we are pleased to share that the Shield4Grape project received a very positive assessment!
A valuable contribution was the presence of Komlan Avia from the sister project GrapeBreed4IPM EU Project, fostering exchanges and strengthening synergies between our initiatives.
Many thanks to Andreia Figueiredo, Rita B. Santos, PhD and their team from the Grapevine Pathogen Systems Lab for their warm hospitality and excellent organization.
