Northeast IPM Research Update Conference

December 10, 2024, 10:30 a.m. – noon Eastern

This online event, hosted by the Northeastern IPM Center, will feature updates from active projects throughout the Northeast funded by one of several sources:

  • The Center’s own IPM Partnership Grants Program
  • The Northeast Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (NE SARE) Program
  • USDA-NIFA’s Applied Research and Development Program (ARDP) and Extension Implementation Program (EIP)

This rapid-style conference will feature five-minute pre-recorded presentations in which the speakers will discuss one or two highlights from their projects. Live Q&A sessions are interspersed throughout.

The purpose of the conference is to increase collaboration and awareness about current IPM-related research and extension in the Northeast in a fun and engaging way. Anyone with an internet connection is invited to join. For more information or to register, visit neipmc.org/go/PHkh.
