SUMMARY:Shaping a Greener Future
DESCRIPTION:When?\n\n\n\nJoin us online on 19 November 2026\, from 15:30 to 17:00 CET\, for a joint webinar with the SUNRISE Project\, bringing together expert speakers to explore key topics and perspectives in green agroecology. \n\n\n\nSUNRISE Agroecology Project\n\n\n\nSunrise Agroecology is a European initiative dedicated to advancing agroecology by creating a vibrant network of Agroecological Living Labs (AELLs) in 10 countries. Building on five existing labs and five promising initiatives\, the project supports a collaborative approach to innovation. Sunrise Agroecology develops practical solutions to key agronomic challenges – paving the way for a more sustainable and resilient agricultural future. \n\n\n\nLearn more about the project here: https://www.sunrise-agroecology.eu/ \n\n\n\nEvent Description\n\n\n\nInterested in sustainability\, agriculture\, and the future of our planet? \n\n\n\nJoin our interactive webinar on agroecology\, Living Labs\, and the green transition. Learn from experts\, discover real-life examples from across Europe\, and join the discussion on sustainable solutions for tomorrow.  \n\n\n\nWhether you are studying agriculture\, environmental sciences\, sustainability\, engineering\, social sciences\, or simply interested in creating positive change\, this webinar offers an opportunity to connect with experts and learn about real-world solutions for a more sustainable future. \n\n\n\nDuring this interactive session\, you will: \n\n\n\n\nLearn about agroecology and why it matters for sustainable food systems.\n\n\n\nExplore real examples from Agroecological Living Labs across Europe.\n\n\n\nDiscover how agroecology supports the green transition.\n\n\n\nHear from researchers and practitioners working on innovative sustainability projects.\n\n\n\nTake part in a live Q&A session and share your questions and ideas.\n\n\n\n\nWho should join?\n\n\n\nStudents and staff\, especially those in agriculture\, sustainability\, green technology\, environmental policy and governance. \n\n\n\n\nEvent Registration\n\n\n\n\nEvent Programme\n\n\n\nIntroduction \n\n\n\nAgroecology and why it matters for sustainable food systems. \n\n\n\nUnderstanding agroecology: Concepts and relevance \n\n\n\nAgroecological Living Labs (AELLs): Successes and challenges. Roundtable discussion to explore real examples from AELLs across Europe. \n\n\n\nThe Green Transition and its connection to agroecology \n\n\n\nUNIgreen: the green transition from an EU perspective \n\n\n\nQ&A: Open discussion with students and speakers \n\n\n\nKey takeaways and conclusions \n\n\n\nMeet the Speakers!\n\n\n\n\n\nFull Professor in Agronomy and Field Crops at the Institute of Plant Sciences of the Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna in Pisa\, where he coordinates the Research Group in Agroecology (GOA) and the International PhD Programme in Agrobiodiversity (2013-2019 and 2026- ). He is involved in inter- and transdisciplinary research on the link between agrobiodiversity and the provision of ecosystem services (functional agrobiodiversity) in different agroecosystems and at different temporal and spatial scales (field\, farm\, territory)\, increasingly conducted with a participatory approach. He is also involved in the ecology and management of wild and weedy vegetation and the design of low-input\, organic and agroecological cropping and farming systems. He regularly participates in regional national and international research projects (he has won >20 European FP6\, FP7\, Horizon 2020\, \n\n\n\nHorizon Europe\, ERA-NET and COST actions projects since 2007). He has participated as (co-)author in ca. 390 scientific papers\, many of them published in the best international journals in the field. He collaborates as an expert agroecologist with FAO\, the European Commission (Joint Research Centre in Ispra\, regular research projects evaluator and monitor)\, EFSA (environmental risk assessment of GMOs in agriculture)\, the Italian Ministry of Agriculture (on organic farming). In 2015-2018 he was a member of the panel for the evaluation of the efficacy and risk of biopesticides for the purpose of their authorization (EU Southern Zone – France\, Greece\, Italy and Spain). From 2002 to 2015 he was scientific secretary\, vice-president\, president and past-president of the European Weed Research Society. He is co-founder of Agroecology Europe (www.agroecology-europe.org)\, of which he was vice-president\, and of AIDA-Italian Agroecology Association\, in which he was a member of the Executive Board. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Prof. Paolo Bàrberi\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLinkedIn\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore information about our speaker can be found here:  \n\n\n\nwww.santannapisa.it/en/personale/paolo-barberi \n\n\n\nwww.researchgate.net/profile/Paolo_Barberi \n\n\n\nhttps://scholar.google.com/citations?user=CJc76yYAAAAJ&hl=it  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\nSPEAKER: Prof. Vladislav Popov PhD\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPopov is an acting Professor at the Dept. of Agroecology\, Vice-rector of the Agricultural University of Plovdiv\, (AUP)\, Bulgaria.
