Today, we close the #EU4AdviceGeneralAssembly in Valencia with a forward-looking day focused on Living Labs governance and long-term sustainability models.
Partners will discuss training, monitoring tools, and new ways to ensure that our local innovations continue to grow across Europe.

Excited to join FUNURB, a collaborative project led by the Phytopathology group at the Swiss Federal Research Institute @wslresearch.bsky.social and @ub3guard.bsky.social exploring how urbanization shapes the diversity and function of tree fungal endophytes. This week in Madrid’s urban green areas.

During your PhD you learn to do science...but not to lead people. And later, you're too busy, so just keep going on autopilot.
Join us in a FREE class with @glia-leadership.bsky.social + @stefanierobel.bsky.social all about lab leadership & team success.

#NewPI #TenureTrack

Our pathogenicity trials are now underway. We’re testing whether the Phytophthora isolates we collected from National Park soils are pathogenic to various forest species. Over the next 8–10 weeks, we'll let them grow and observe how they interact with the plants. #biosecurity, #nationalparks

Hoy es el dia! Primer diálogo Esfera Climática para ayudar a científicas a afrontar entrevistas con medios de comunicación. Un webinar coordinado por @andreaarnal.bsky.social @angelajustamente.bsky.social con la participación de nuestro querido @marioviciosa.bsky.social
Casi 200 inscritas, GRACIAS💚

Australia’s plant biosecurity system serves as a great example of cooperative work among government, stakeholders and forest sector. Their full program is key to prevent pathogens' entry and establishment. #biosecurity, #foresthealth, #planthealth

The IUFROdivision7 Conference on tree health—"from Cities to Forests" will be held at the Swiss Federal Research Institute (WSL) with members of the COST Action UB3Guard among the organizers.

Durante el primer año de BIOPARQUE hemos alcanzado nuestro primer objetivo. Queríamos saber si los humanos son vectores de patógenos forestales y por tanto, si los suelos en áreas recreativas, con mayor presencia humana, están actuando como reservas de posibles patógenos forestales.

During the first year of our BIOPARQUE we have achieved our first objective. We wanted to find out if humans are vectors of forest pathogens and therefore, whether forest soils with more human activity in recreational areas are acting as reservoirs of putative forest pathogens.
