Welcome to EAPR2024
Oslo, Norway, July 7-12, 2024
This is the first time Norway will host a Triennial conference of EAPR, the European Association for Potato Research, and the organizing committee is eager to make “the best Triennial conference ever”.
You are all very welcome to Oslo for the EAPR2024 Triennial Conference!
The website https://nibio.no/eapr2024 is open for registration. We have 12 interesting keynotes in the program, other presentations are published shortly.
The headline for this conference is: Sustainable Potato production: advances and applications of Potato Research. We plan for 10 scientific sessions covering a broad specter of subjects related to the potato crop. The scientific committee consists of both Norwegian scientists and experts from other parts of Europe.
We plan one full day of excursions during the conference to visit potato growing areas, including social activities.
We have tried to keep the cost low to attract as many people as possible. The fees are calculated in the Norwegian currency NOK, which now is weak compared to EURO. That means to register now could be wise.
It is also possible to arrange separate workshops or network meeting one or two days before the conference at the conference venue. Please contact me if you are interested to discuss this.
The first connected workshop will be on the day before the EAPR conference, it is the 3rd International Spongospora Workshop, July 6, 2024.
On Sunday, July 7, you may join the 1st European Wireworm workshop.
Please forward the information about the conference within your network.
Arne Hermansen
President of EAPR
More information will apear on this website as the program evolves. I hope to see you in Oslo in July 2024!

WU graduate in plant sciences with a PhD on biological weed control, more than 30 years as agronomist in applied research projects of WPR, including decision support models for crop protection, weed control and precision farming. In recent years, the focus shifts more and more to data-driven farming, working e.g. with the WUR data platform www.farmmaps.net. Besides researcher at WPR, he is associate professor at Aeres University of Applied Sciences on precision farming and board member of Dutch pesticide registration authority CTGB.
Keynote: Next generation of more efficient fertilizers
Professor
Søren HustedDepartment of Plant and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
My research is mainly focused on the mineral nutrition of plants, working across the full spectrum from fundamental studies dealing with regulating of uptake, translocation and assimilation of mineral ions to more applied aspects of field based fertilization. Currently we have a strong focus on studying the mechanisms controlling uptake of plant nutrients across the leaf surface barrier in order to improve the basis for foliar fertilization. To create a future population of more efficient fertilizers, we have integrated nanotechnology in our work and recently we have documented that foliar fertilization of potato and barley can be significantly improved using a nano-fertilization.
