When: September 18, 2025, 16:00–17:00 CEST
Where: Online Webinar

Organized by: EU-SAGE, Re-Imagine Europa, GAIN4CROPS

Who Should Attend: Policymakers, growers, farmers, breeders, scientists, innovators

Key Speakers:

• Andreas PM Weber, Coordinator of the GAIN4CROPS project and Professor of Plant Biochemistry at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf
• Robert Hoffie, Head of Biotechnology and Genome Editing, Leibniz-Institut (IPK)
• Garlich von Essen, Secretary General & CEO at Euroseeds
• Representative of the Directorate General Health and Food Safety of the European Commission

Webinar Overview:
Join us for a dynamic discussion on how New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) can significantly contribute to sustainable agriculture in Europe. Prof. Andreas Weber and Robert Hoffie will present concrete examples illustrating recent advancements in crop plants, including breakthrough technologies enhancing drought tolerance and water efficiency in maize. The webinar will also briefly outline the objectives of the EU-funded initiative, GAIN4CROPS, which seeks innovative solutions to improve agricultural productivity by addressing photorespiration-related inefficiencies.

Explore how these pioneering genetic technologies are set to transform European agriculture, enhance crop resilience, and contribute to long-term sustainability and food security.
