The UNTWIST project has officially launched the Plant Adaptation Hub, a new online platform designed to support research and innovation in camelina. The hub provides access to a wide range of data, tools, and resources aimed at advancing climate-resilient crop development and sustainable agricultural practices.

The platform brings together genetic, phenotypic, and environmental data, enabling users to explore and analyse key characteristics of camelina. It also offers tools for data analysis, visualisation, and comparison, supporting scientists, breeders, agronomists, and industry stakeholders in their work.

By facilitating access to research outputs and datasets, the hub contributes to improving crop performance, supporting precision breeding, and enhancing decision-making in agriculture. It represents an important step towards strengthening collaboration and knowledge exchange within the camelina research community.

Initiatives such as the UNTWIST Plant Adaptation Hub complement the objectives of the CARINA project, which focuses on promoting resilient, low-input oilseed crops and building sustainable bio-based value chains.

The platform is available at: www.camelina-hub.org

The 2nd International Camelina Conference (ICC Málaga 2026) will take place on 10–11 July 2026 in Málaga, Spain, bringing together leading experts and stakeholders from across the camelina value chain.

Participants will have the opportunity to attend the conference either onsite in Málaga or online, making the event accessible to a global audience.

As camelina continues to gain recognition as a sustainable oilseed crop, the conference will provide a platform to explore the latest scientific and technological developments supporting its role in food, feed, fuel, and industrial applications.

The programme will cover a wide range of topics, including genetics and molecular breeding, plant physiology, agronomy, environmental adaptability, oil quality, biotechnology, and policy. Participants will include researchers, breeders, farmers, industry representatives, and policymakers, fostering a multidisciplinary exchange of knowledge and experience.

ICC Málaga 2026 will also offer valuable opportunities to build international partnerships, strengthen collaboration, and address key challenges and opportunities related to the large-scale deployment of camelina.
