PHENET webinar series
The European Research Infrastructures (RI) on plant phenotyping (EMPHASIS), ecosystems experimentation (AnaEE), long-term observation (eLTER) and data management and bioinformatics (ELIXIR) join their forces in the EU funded project PHENET to codevelop next generation of tools, methods for the development of crop varieties, agricultural management practices to face future climatic scenarios across Europe and accompany agroecological transition. These tools are tested in a range of use cases addressing specific scientific questions and will result in new services that will be implemented and available within the RIs involved in PHENET. With this webinar series we provide an overview of the nine PHENET use cases, we address their scientific questions, present the tools that will be developed and provide a platform for a discussion and exchange with different stakeholders from academia and industry. Each webinar will include multiple speakers addressing a methodological section with presentation of latest developments in hardware, software, modelling solutions followed by applications of these methods to address relevant scientific questions illustrating how next generation phenotyping and envirotyping tools and methods can help to analyse different facets of the soil component, to explore the complex biotic interactions in agroecosystems, to decipher the complex genotypes by environment interaction, and to foresee how these tools and methods can be used to assess crops and forests across scales.

Stay tuned to our PHENET communication channels (website, linked). This webinar series will be followed by further webinars providing concrete insights into the latest technologies and tools being developed by the project.
In PHENET, EMPHASIS, AnaEE, eLTER, and ELIXIR join forces to co-develop, with a diversity of innovative companies, new tools and methods – meant to contribute to new RI services – for the identification of future-proofed combinations of species, genotypes, and management practices in front of the most likely climatic scenarios across Europe. IPPN is an association representing the major plant phenotyping centers, aiming to provide all relevant information about plant phenotyping to increase the visibility and impact of plant phenotyping and enable cooperation between different stakeholders.
