Third SolACE Stakeholder Event
The third SolACE Stakeholder Event took place in October in Dundee, Scotland. The event was hosted by SolACE partner James Hutton Institute. At this event, SolACE partners showed some of the innovations the project is working on to reduce water and nutrient stress in crops and, most importantly, to receive critical and valuable feedback and comments on these innovations. The event took place as part of the SolACE and TomRes annual project meetings, providing an opportunity for exchange between the two projects.

Announcement of the Third SolaACE stakeholder event
At this event, we want to show you some of the innovations we are working on to reduce water and nutrient stress in crops and, most importantly, to receive your critical and valuable feedback and comments on these inoovations. We want our innovations and research to be as applicable and useful to end users as possible, so your input is vital. You will help shape this work.
This will be an interactive, engaging event where you will get to meet the researchers involved in SolACE, hear about progress on the innovations to date, and share your thoughts on what you think of them.
The 2-hour event will include approximately 6 short presentations from our researchers, each speaking about a different innovation. You will then have plenty of time to ask questions, provide comments and quiz them on the innovations.
