Posting this a little late, but definitely not too late!
Back in April, I had this incredibly enriching opportunity to attend @Recrop22157 GenNext Training School (and conference) at MAICh, Crete 🇬🇷
What an amazing place to be!
Presented there my research work too! 🤗
Our first "Plant Breeding and Crop Improvement" Training School within the @Recrop22157 is finished. Amazing energy and atmosphere! 😎 900km and 9 lectures per 1.5 hours in six days :)

GenNext was more than a training school — it was a space where ideas were exchanged, collaborations were seeded, and the next generation of plant scientists grew stronger together.
Thank you to all lecturers, trainees, chairs, and organizers who made this possible.
