EWRS webinar series 2026: Question-Driven Weed Science

 
What do young researchers miss in their education in weed science? Instead of making assumptions, this webinar series was developed by asking them directly. Based on a survey conducted among young researchers across Europe, key questions, challenges, and topics were identified that are rarely addressed in traditional programmes. Organized by the WG Education & Training, the webinar series is aimed at researchers and colleagues interested in gaining a better understanding of research processes in weed science, from conceptual and theoretical perspectives to experimental approaches. The webinars encourage direct interaction, giving participants the opportunity to ask questions and discuss topics that are often missing from standard training. This is the first webinar cycle, with a second cycle planned for autumn.
