Industry Engagement

On 19^th of March 2021, the projects PHENOME and EPPN2020 held online a joint knowledge exchange event between the European phenomic community and industry. This event brought together 83 people from public research, plant breeding or technology provider companies.

The morning consisted of a plenary session that illustrated,  in six 15-minutes presentations, the European landscape, and the methodological advances made by EPPN²⁰²⁰ and by the Phenome-EMPHASIS communities in terms of sensors, imaging, statistical design, and information systems.

The afternoon was devoted to discussions and networking with the audience, around the views of industry about priorities in phenomics regarding innovation and development.
