We are pleased to announce the final conference of the COST Action T0P-AGRI-Network, taking place from 9 – 11 June 2026 at the Julius Kühn-Institut in Berlin, Germany. This event marks the culmination of an intensive and highly collaborative research network, bringing together scientists, from across Europe and beyond.

The conference will feature distinguished keynote lectures delivered by internationally renowned scientists, offering insights into the future of agricultural research.

A central focus of the conference will be on early-career researchers, who will be given a prominent platform to present the results of their work. Through oral presentations and poster pitches, young scientists will showcase innovative approaches, share their findings, and engage with the wider scientific community. By doing so, the conference highlights the importance of fostering the next generation of researchers and encouraging interdisciplinary exchange.

The final conference provides a unique opportunity to reflect on the achievements of the COST Action, strengthen existing collaborations, and initiate new research partnerships.

We look forward to welcoming you to Berlin!

Towards zer0 Pesticide AGRIculture: European Network for sustainability

The main objective of this Action is to pave the way for new crop protection strategies and practices without chemical pesticides and to co build a new research paradigm among research communities by no longer adopting a progressive pesticide reduction approach, but rather encouraging a breakthrough in redesigning crop protection.
