During the conference among others Kris Verheyen, one of the heads of the Forest & Nature Lab at Universiteit Gent and PI of the ERC Consolidator grant PASTFORWARD and ERC Proof of Concept grant UnderSCORE, shared citizen science projects on agrobiodiversity. Sarah Lebeer, head of the Lab of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology at Universiteit Antwerpen, shared the Isala activities as part of the Starting grant project Lacto-Be.
