Registration is now open for the event, Collecting and sharing data on bee health: Towards a European Bee Partnership, which will take place in Brussels on 26 June 2017.
Agnes Rortais, coordinator of EFSA’s MUST-B project, said: “We are delighted to be taking part in this year’s Bee Week. The colloquium is a great opportunity to gather together scientists and others interested in bee health to debate the key issues and to plot a way forward.
“We hope this will be the beginning of a true EU-wide partnership that will help to halt the weakening and decline of honeybee colonies.”
The colloquium will bring together a wide range of stakeholders, including beekeepers, farmers, industry associations, scientists, risk assessors and managers, and policy makers. The main aims are to:
- explore the mutual benefits of sharing data for all stakeholders;
- improve and standardise the collection and sharing of data on bee health;
- strengthen collaboration between all interested parties and establish an EU Bee Partnership.
