Workpackages
| WP1 | Context dependency |
| Lead Beneficiary | B9 UniNE: Rasmann; together with B8 CNRS: Giron |
|
Objectives |
Characterise context dependency of microbe-induced plant resistance to insects herbivores, evaluate effects on plant performance, and find promising MOs with improved stability and adaptability |
| WP2 | Mechanisms and processes |
| Lead Beneficiary | B2 CSIC: Pozo; together with B7 UU: van Wees |
|
Objectives |
Unravel plant mechanisms underlying microbe-induced resistance against pests, and how they are influenced by the biotic and abiotic contexts |
| WP3 | Impacts on other biocontrol organisms |
| Lead Beneficiary | B3 NIOO: Biere together with B2 CSIC: Benitez |
|
Objectives |
Assess whether beneficial plant resistance-inducing microorganisms have negative impacts on the use of other biocontrol agents against insect pests |
| WP4 | Methods, Validation and Economy |
| Lead Beneficiary | B4 INOQ: Schneider; together with B1 UCPH: Meyling |
|
Objectives |
Transfer of scientific results to commercial production, through method development of MiR applications and products, and evaluation of commercial effects and economy |
| WP5 | Training and dissemination |
| Lead Beneficiary | B3 NIOO: Garbeva; together with B10 iDiv: Medina. Supported by Mentor Committees and ESR Mediator |
|
Objectives |
Ensure that the ESRs recruited by MiRA are trained in the best possible way to improve their career potentials, and that knowledge, results and innovations from MiRA are disseminated to a broad range of relevant audiences |
| WP6 | Management |
| Lead Beneficiary | B1 UCPH: Hauser; together with B1 UCPH: Meyling and and Executive Board. Supported by UCPH-Administrative Manager, -EU office, and -Tech Trans office |
|
Objectives |
To support all stages of the MiRA ETN: initiation, implementation, monitoring, governing and finalising |
