Partner visit #1: Poland

The INRAE team travelled to Poland to meet the teams from the various institutes involved in the project: Instytut Ogrodnictwa - Państwowy Instytut Badawczy (InHort) in Skierniewice and Instytut Ochrony Roślin - Państwowy Instytut Badawczy (IOR-PIB) in Poznań.

This trip was an opportunity to engage in discussions with the various researchers taking part in the project, to define mutual expectations in terms of data available and to be provided, assistance and results.

The visit to the various scientific sites gave the INRAE coordinating team a shared view of the data available to the Polish partners and enabled them to agree on the timetable for future actions, in particular the organisation of task 5.3, for which inHort is responsible, and research into Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices in Poland.
