This one day conferece will project the wide -ranging and on-going applied research that is undertaken through schemes such as Knowledge Transfer Partnerships(KTP) which is Europes leading programme in helping businesses to improve their competitivements and productivity through the better use of Knowledge, technology and skills. Through examples and case studies this conference will describe hoe Knowledge Transfer(KT) can help your horticultural business, explain how the schemes work and provide links to the schemes and to the "Knowledge" sector. At tje end of the event delegates will be equiped to capitalise upon the opportunities of KT schemes in order to create new products, policies and practices to meet the specific needs of your horticultural business.]]> Conference-link http://www.richalia.es/congreso/index.html Sun 23 Nov 2008 - Thu 27 Nov 2008
Plant viruses and their vectors cause serious economic losses, limit worldwide crop production, and have negative effects on the quality and safety of food. The use of genetic resistance is one of the best ways to control plant viruses and their vectors. ResistVir (www.resistvir-db.org) is a Coordination Action funded by the 6th EU Framework Program which aims at improving co-ordination of research on genetic resistance to plant pathogenic viruses and vectors in European crops. ResistVir is now organizing an International Congress dedicated to current research activities on genetic resistances to plant pathogenic viruses and their vectors. It will make accessible to stakeholders an actualised view of the state-of-the-art on the issue, while providing updated information on the latest research and developments carried out in the field. The meeting will cover aspects related to (i) important/emergent plant virus diseases, (ii) factors required for virus multiplication and spread, (iii) plant responses to viruses and/or their vectors, (iv) new approaches to control plant viruses and their vectors, (v) resistance durability, and (vi) legal and technology transfer related issues.]]> Conference-link http://www.aab.org.uk/contentok.php?id=62&basket=wwsshowconfdets Wed 10 Dec 2008 - Fri 12 Dec 2008
