Seed Priming Technologies: From Science to Impact
Location: Parma, Italy
Duration: 27โ28 April 2027
The Training School will deliver intensive hands-on training in innovative seed priming technologies, biostimulants and natural compounds, microbial inoculants, abiotic stress tolerance and the translation of laboratory protocols to field applications. The programme will combine lectures, practical laboratory sessions, demonstrations and collaborative problem-solving, bringing together experienced trainers and young researchers from across the PrimSeedPower network.
Building Climate-Resilient Crops: From Seed Conservation to High-Throughput Phenotyping and Sensor-Based Plant Monitoring
Location: Olomouc, Czechia
Duration: 10โ13 May 2027
Interdisciplinary hands-on training in seed conservation, quality assessment, priming, plant stress biology, high-throughput phenotyping and sensor-based plant monitoring, jointly hosted by the Czech Agrifood Research Center and CATRINโPalackรฝ University Olomouc.
Safe-by-Design Seed Priming Technologies: Bridging Innovation, Toxicology and Regulatory Science
Location: Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Duration: 18โ21 May 2027
An interactive panel discussion and workshop on integrating safe-by-design principles into next-generation seed priming, bringing together scientists, toxicologists, regulators, industry and policymakers. Co-organised within CTDC13.
2nd PrimSeedPower Management Committee and Scientific Meeting
Location: Porto, Portugal
The second Management Committee and Scientific Meeting brings together MC representatives, Working Group leaders and invited experts to review progress and set priorities for the next phase.
PrimSeedPower Strategic Stakeholder Roundtable: From Seed Priming Science to Policy and Practice
Location: Wageningen / Utrecht, Netherlands
Time: 17 September 2027
The strategic stakeholder roundtable will connect PrimSeedPower researchers with seed companies, breeders, farmers and advisers, policymakers, international organisations and relevant European initiatives. The meeting will discuss stakeholder needs, barriers to adoption, standardisation, regulation, innovation pathways and opportunities for translating seed priming research into practical and policy-relevant solutions for climate-resilient agriculture and food systems.
Past Events
Researchers’ Night
PrimSeedPower joined European Researchers’ Night to share the science of seed priming with the public and celebrate curiosity about plants and climate-resilient agriculture.
1st PrimSeedPower Annual Scientific Conference & Management Committee Meeting
The 1st PrimSeedPower Annual Scientific Conference and Management Committee Meeting brought together members from across Europe to share research, strengthen collaborations and define the next steps of the Action, hosted by the University of Sarajevo.
Fascination of Plants Day
PrimSeedPower marked Fascination of Plants Day with seed priming experiments in schools — celebrating plants, their resilience and the science that helps us understand them. ๐ฑ
Training School in Chania
Training School, co-organised with the ReCROP COST Action. Over three days, a growing network of young and senior researchers discussed major aspects of crop stress resilience, including the potential of plant priming.
