IPM NET Kick-off meeting

Date : 16th February 2024 | 9:30 am - 3:20 pm
Venue : Lyth Building, Brackenhurst campus, Nottingham Trent University

ADAS are hosting this kick-off event for IPM NET – a knowledge exchange network to advance IPM, and the start of a pilot year of this initiative. The day will mostly be discussion based, sharing experiences in IPM and priorities for improving strategies via the knowledge exchange network.

Whether you have extensive or limited experience in IPM, we welcome farmers and advisors who are keen on exploring the development of a knowledge exchange network to facilitate advancements in IPM for all. This meeting aims to provide you with valuable insights, practical knowledge, and a platform for open conversation. Join us at Lyth Building, Brackenhurst campus, Nottingham Trent University, where we will be launching the IPM NET pilot year, sharing IPM approaches, experiences and the challenges you have faced and how we can address these as a community. We will also be providing a networking lunch. Attending the kick-off meeting does not commit you to participating in the IPM NET Pilot.
