THE BLUEBERRY SCHOOL REPRESENTS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY, RESERVED FOR A SELECT GROUP OF MEMBERS, TO INTERFACE DIRECTLY WITH SOME OF THE WORLD'S LEADING EXPERTS IN THE FIELD.
Prof. Bruno Mezzetti, Marche Polytechnic University
International Blueberry Days will begin with a preview at the Polytechnic University of Marche in Ancona on Tuesday, May 2. The Blueberry School event is dedicated entirely to young researchers and technicians.
The day will be entirely dedicated to the main scientific issues of blueberry: genetics, nursery, nutrition, cultivation techniques, nutritional and biomedical aspects. An excellent opportunity for young researchers and technicians to be able to talk and interact with top experts in the field on the world stage, with talks by personalities from four Continents.
"Unlike the Symposium," says Prof. Bruno Mezzetti, "the Blueberry School-which is part of the training program planned for the H2020 Breeding Value project(https://breedingvalue.eu/), by the National Agritech Center, supported by PNRR, and under the patronage of SOI-represents a unique opportunity, reserved for a small group of registered participants, to interface directly with some of the world's leading experts in the field. The 'Blueberry school,' as well as the 'Blueberry Days' at Macfrut, aim to create an important moment of confrontation between researchers, technicians and practitioners of the sector on all aspects affecting the production chain of blueberry in the world."
