RATION is organizing a summer school in Larissa, Greece on the 25 to 29th of May, 2026. The summer school offers training on novel risk assessment approaches that are available and will benchmark risk assessment of low-risk pesticides in the next 20 years while it will further provide hands-on training on tools developed in the frame of the project RATION to support risk assessment of microbial and ds-RNA pesticides. There is not registration fee. The attendees will have to cover their own travel and accomodation costs. The program of the School and further details could be found in the flyer attached.

RATION announces the launch of the first training workshop on the Whole Genome Sequencing tool developed for microbial pesticides. The tool will provide novel directions and outputs that are directly relevant for the risk assessment of microbial pesticides based on bacteria and fungi. The workshop will be organized in person in Paris on Monday 23rd of February 2026. There is a limited number of places (maximum 40) so you will need to register to secure a position.
