INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH AND TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION TEAM

Dr Joeke Postma, Senior Scientist at Plant Research International part of Wageningen-UR (the Netherlands), is experienced in microbial ecology, plant pathology and soil ecosystems, and is responsible for research projects on disease suppression and biological control of soil-borne pathogens in agricultural systems. She participated in the EU-project PROTECTOR selecting micro-organisms for biocontrol of soil-born plant pathogens (2005-2008), a follow-up project in CIP Eco-innovation which started June 2009 and a still to start project EU-PURE (2011). She was member of the scientific committee of the 6th int. conf. ORBIT on waste management (2008). Her main interest is to enhance soil quality in agricultural systems thru knowledge on soil (microbial) ecology.

Prof M Lodovica Gullino was born at Saluzzo, Italy. All of her career has been based at the University of Torino, where she is Professor of Biological and Integrated Plant Disease Management in the School of Biotechnology, Director of AGROINNOVA and Vice-Rector for International Affairs. During the 1980’s she spent several periods of research at Wageningen University, the Netherlands and at Maryland, Cornell and Penn State Universities, USA. She was Vice President of the International Society for Plant Pathology (ISPP) during 2003-2008, and was elected President for 2008-2013. She is Past President of the Italian Society for Crop Protection and of the Italian Association of the Agricultural Scientific Societies. Her research interests focus on plant disease management, biological and integrated control of plant diseases, crop biosecurity, effects of climate change on plant diseases, and sustainable agriculture. She has co-author fifteen books, and published over 700 scientific papers and reviews in Italian and international Journals.

Dr. Steve Robinson is a Senior Lecturer in Soil and Water Biogeochemistry and has 20 years experience reaching plant nutrient biogeochemistry in soil and freshwater systems both at laboratory and field scale. He has acted as Pl or Co-Pl on several major research programmes, supported by a range of UK and international fundin bodies, including the NERC, DEFRA and the EU Framework programmes. A number of awards have been jointly funded with a range of research institutes, demonstrating his experience in building collaborative partnerships with external organisations. His international reputation is phosphorus biogeochemistry at the soil-water interface, with a research focus on process controlling phosphorus mobilisation and transfer from re-wetted soils and sediments.
