Partner Offer – Integrated Pest Management, Plant Health and Knowledge Transfer within EU Thematic Knowledge Hubs

IPP-NRI is a Polish research institution specialising in plant protection, plant health, integrated pest management (IPM), organic farming and sustainable agricultural production. The Institute conducts scientific research and develops practical solutions supporting farmers and agricultural advisors in addressing crop protection challenges.

Its expertise includes monitoring and identification of harmful organisms, integrated and biological pest management, sustainable use of plant protection products, pest forecasting and the dissemination of scientific knowledge to agricultural practice.

Proposed areas of cooperation

IPP-NRI is interested in contributing to the development and operation of EU thematic knowledge hubs, particularly through:

• Collecting, evaluating and sharing existing scientific knowledge, innovative solutions and good agricultural practices related to plant protection.

• Supporting the practical implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) and sustainable crop protection strategies.

• Developing knowledge resources, technical guidelines, training materials and practical recommendations for farmers and agricultural advisors.

• Supporting the exchange of knowledge between researchers, advisors, farmers and other stakeholders within AKIS.

• Sharing expertise in pest monitoring, early-warning systems and decision-support approaches for crop protection.

• Contributing to knowledge-sharing platforms and digital tools that improve access to research-based information.

• Participating in workshops, training activities, demonstration events and dissemination initiatives at national and European levels.

• Supporting the adaptation and dissemination of knowledge to different agricultural, environmental and regional conditions across Europe.

Expected contribution and impact

Through its participation, IPP-NRI aims to strengthen the connection between scientific research and agricultural practice, improve access to reliable and practical plant protection knowledge, and support the adoption of innovative and environmentally sustainable crop management approaches.

The Institute is particularly interested in contributing to knowledge hubs focused on holistic crop protection, sustainable pest management and resilient cropping systems.

Cooperation sought

IPP-NRI is looking for cooperation with research organisations, universities, agricultural advisory services, farmers' organisations, AKIS networks and other European stakeholders preparing proposals.

The Institute is open to participating as a project partner, contributing scientific expertise, practical knowledge, knowledge transfer activities, educational resources and stakeholder engagement.

We welcome opportunities to discuss potential collaboration and joint proposal development.
