From molecular mechanisms to resilient crops: the first Annual PrimSeedPower Scientific Conference brought the seed priming community together in Sarajevo on 16–17 June 2026. Hosted by the University of Sarajevo, the meeting welcomed more than 80 researchers and experts from over 25 countries for scientific exchange, new contacts and collaborative discussions.
Keynote lectures, oral and poster presentations addressed priming mechanisms, stress memory, innovative technologies, field validation and the translation of research into sustainable agriculture. The Young Researchers and Innovators Forum created space for emerging scientists to present their work and build international connections. The event also featured a discussion on responsible artificial intelligence in research. Beyond the programme, Sarajevo showed the value of an open research community working together on a common challenge: making crops better prepared for environmental stress.
