New Genomic Techniques for Crop improvement 2027 (NGTs for CROPS)

New Genomic Techniques for Crop improvement: the science, technology and social EU perspective

International Congress on the science, technology and social aspects of NGTS  for crop improvement

We live at a time of major opportunities and challenges for global agriculture: while New Genomic Techniques (NGTs), especially CRISPR, now enable highly precise crop improvement, climate change, emerging diseases, and global market instability continue to threaten food security. This congress brings together leading experts in genome editing, trait biology, and AI‑driven trait discovery to discuss advances in developing high yield, better quality and more resilient, disease resistant crops, The latest development of editing tools for diverse and recalcitrant crops, including trees and vegetatively propagated species will be presented. NGTs for Crops 2026 provides a forum for researchers, technology developers, breeders, and industry partners to share the latest results and address the scientific, technical, social, and regulatory dimensions of NGTs. Topic specific sessions and round‑table sessions will offer up‑to‑date science and perspectives on evolving global and EU regulatory frameworks and their implications for research, innovation, and food systems.

The NGTs for Crops congress will take place at the Palacio de Congresos of Valencia Spain from January 25 to January 28, 2026
