Transnational Access in Action - an Agroserv and Microbes4Climate workshop

Transnational Access in Action: Supporting Agroecology and Climate Change Adaptation Research A workshop held during the AnaEE 2026 Science Conference, held on 30 September 2026 at Palais de l'Europe, Menton (France). Speakers Heba Sofia Ibrahim (Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH) Joseph Timkovsky Roland Pieruschka (PHENET/Microbes4Climate) The workshop served to showcase the real impact of Transnational Access on research in agroecology and climate change adaptation. Giving voice to researchers who have directly benefited from TNA in both projects while attracting new applicants to AgroServ and Microbes4Climate. Foster connections between the plant science, agroecology and soil microbiome research communities. Demonstrate the complementarity of AgroServ and M4C in addressing climate challenges.
