Haramaya University Researchers Participate in Advanced Genomics and Plant Breeding Training in Sweden<\/h1>\n

Researchers, academic staff, and postgraduate students from partner institutions of the Erasmus+-funded BREEDTECH Project recently attended the third round of the Capacity Building Training workshop at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Alnarp, Sweden.<\/p>\n

\"Haramaya
\nCoordinated by SLU\u2019s Dr. Ramesh Vetukuri, the one-week program focused on modern plant breeding and genomic tools. Technical sessions were delivered by experts from SLU, the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies in Italy, and the Institute of Field and Vegetable Crops (IFVCNS) in Novi Sad, Serbia. The hybrid event brought together more than 30 in-person attendees along with online participants.<\/p>\n

\nHaramaya University\u2019s involvement in the BREEDTECH Project is led by Co-Principal Investigator Dr. Abdi Mohammed. For this training round, the university was represented on-site by Dr. Alok Kumar, Dr. Bulti Tesso, and Fuad Abduselam, a PhD candidate. With the conclusion of this third session, the project has provided advanced, in-person training in genomic technologies to a total of 12 Haramaya University faculty members and students, while also training several MSc and PhD candidates through remote sessions.<\/p>\n

\"Haramaya
\nThe curriculum was designed to develop practical skills and theoretical knowledge in breeding methodologies and research approaches necessary for developing climate-resilient and high-yielding crop varieties. In addition to the technical sessions, the delegation visited one of Sweden\u2019s largest agricultural fairs, where they observed modern agricultural machinery, precision farming technologies, and sustainable farming solutions.<\/p>\n

\"Haramaya
\nThe workshop facilitated international knowledge exchange and supported Haramaya University’s ongoing commitment to collaborative research and innovation through the Erasmus+ BREEDTECH framework.<\/p>\n
