COBISS.SI-ID: 726668The 12th International Verticillium Symposium, organised by the members of the program group, was hosted by the University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty at Austria Trend Hotel, Ljubljana, Slovenia, from October 6-9, 2016. We were nominated for the organisers on the previous meeting in 2013 due to our contribution to the research field. These are traditional meetings of scientists involved in research of Verticillium pathogenic species including biology, genetics, taxonomy of the species as well as disease control and plant resistance. There were 86 registered participants from 22 countries. Seventeen keynote lectures and 18 selected abstract talks were given and 43 posters were presented [COBISS.SI-ID 286753024]. In 2016 members of the program group organised a three days summer school in collaboration with the Society of students of microbiology of Slovenia. Lectures were focused on various types of vaccines and had 300 attendees, while during laboratory experiments students worked on the production of recombinat proteins (vaccines) in plants (COBISS.SI-ID 8503929).

C.07 Other editorial board
The book “What is true and what is not true about GMO” was published in order to present beneficial issues of genetically modified varieties in agriculture and food (COBISS.SI-ID 28743065, 284289536). Members of the programgroup have also participated in numerous radio and television broadcasts (9 times), have had interviews (9 times), published professional books (3 times) and popular articles (12 x). These popular contributions, in addition to presentation of the group's research work, were mainly discussing issues of agriculture and food production.
