PestSpace representatives participate in the 15th National Scientific Conference in Zakopane

The conference was one of the most important annual events in Poland dedicated to plant breeding and seed science. It provided a platform for knowledge exchange between scientists, breeders, and industry representatives, as well as a venue for presenting innovations and strengthening collaboration between research and practice.

It was an excellent opportunity to promote the PestSpace project and establish contacts with specialists in plant breeding and seed science.

The presentation opened with an introduction to the project within the Interreg Baltic Sea Region programme, highlighting its mission to improve plant protection by developing a regional shared database on agrophages and enhancing cross-border collaboration.

A key element of the presentation was the strong international consortium implementing the project. PestSpace brings together universities, research institutes, governmental institutions, industry partners, and advisory organisations from across the Baltic Sea Region.

The slide also introduced the Project Manager, Kadri Põldmaa, Ph.D. whose leadership and coordination ensure effective cooperation among partners from Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland.

The conference created an opportunity to further strengthen these international connections and promote the project among the international scientific community.
