About event
Project TANGENC aims to unravel the mechanisms involved in the response to abiotic stress at critical stages of plant growth and development, to optimise biotechnological approaches for the application of new knowledge in breeding, to promote the transfer of new knowledge into breeding practice and to improve public awareness of new breeding techniques.
The annual meeting of the TANGENC project participants will be held at CEITEC, Masaryk University, on November 24-25, 2025. This one-and-a-half-day symposium will provide a valuable opportunity to share progress on ongoing research, strengthen existing collaborations, and explore future scientific directions. The program will feature scientific presentations, a poster session, and ample time for informal discussions and networking.
