WG3 Meeting No. 1

The  1^st Meeting of Working Group 3 of the COST Action MiCropBiomes was held online on March 1, 2024.

The meeting welcomed 38 participants from 16 countries (see below). The WG3 Leader gave a brief overview of the WG3 composition (103 persons, 28 MC members, 32 countries), the three main tasks, the three deliverables and two milestones assigned to WG3. The main purpose of this online meeting was to start work on the 1^st Grant Period Goals (GPGs). These GPGs require WG3 members, but also other WG members, to divide into three topics subgroups (Challenges, Terminology and Applications) and two strategies subgroups (Model Crops and their Microbiota; PGPs / BCAs and Phages/Viruses) subgroups.
