PROMEDRICE participates in EU-RICE networking event

Both medwaterice.org and promedrice.org projects were presented in the inaugural EU-RICE event hosted by University of Torino last September 4th 2025.

Over 130 participants from different countries had the opportunity not only to network and learn from each other during scientific sessions, but also to visit Ente Nazionale Risi in Castello d’Agnona during September 5th.

EU-RICE initiative, led by Prof. Aldo Ferrero, aims to establish a collaborative and multidisciplinary network on rice research, representing an important benefit for the sector, and playing an important role in strengthening research around important themes related to the need to improve the productive, environmental and socio-economical sustainability and resilience of European rice cropping systems, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of European rice at a global scale. In analogy with the MEDRICE network which operated for several years within the FAO, such an organization could set out to reach several key objectives.

We’re glad of such initiative, which does not only contribute to disseminate project results and outcomes, but also to broaden relationships amongst rice sector researchers and lets us all to learn from the best!
