The meeting will cover different aspects of pesticide resistance and resistance management. Discussions will take place in three sub-groups (insecticides, fungicides and herbicides) the first day and in a plenary session the second day. The content of the sub-group meeting will be planned by the sub-group chairs.

Topics of the plenary session include:

• Introduction to the newly launched EPPO database of resistance cases/Thies Marten Heick & Mette Sønderskov, Aarhus University, Denmark
• Use of reference genomes of weed species to address new questions about weed adaptation/Paul Neve, Copenhagen University, Denmark
• IPM experiences from Scotland/Henry Creissen, SRUC, Scotland, UK
• Presentation of IPMWORKS, European IPM network, EU H2020 project/Nicolas Munier-Jolain, INRAE, France

We encourage representatives from official research institutes in Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden, who are involved in pesticide resistance research to attend the meeting. Representatives of the agrochemical companies operating in the Nordic-Baltic region and representatives from advisory services are also invited to attend this meeting. Suggestions for presentations are welcome and can be directed to the respective sub-group leaders or the chairperson for the plenary session.
