The webinar was held on February 23, 2023 and concerned primarily the practical aspects of business activities in the field of plant biotechnology and energy crop breeding aimed at achieving the intended characteristics of new Miscanthus varieties.

During Project Status Seminar the coordinators of the research projects of the six 3rd FACCE SURPLUS Call and the eigth projects of the 2nd SusCrop Call present their progress and achievements. One of the presented projects is MISCOMAR+ "Miscanthus for Contaminated and Marginal Lands PLUS", carried out under the flag of ERA-NET Cofund FACCE SURPLUS in the frame of the Joint Programming Initiative on Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change (FACCE-JPI).

The video has been produced by ICONS Innovation Strategies to the benefit of CrOpportunity, a Cluster of 3 EU funded projects who are assessing the use of underutilised land for perennial biomass crops such as miscanthus and poplars in short rotation coppices.

New Newsletter #1 of the Miscomar+ project - we invite to read the information about the work carried out in the project.
