The NitroScope project was presented during EUROBIOTECH 2026, the 10th Central European Congress of Life Sciences, held in Kraków, Poland.
EUROBIOTECH is one of the important scientific events in Central Europe, bringing together specialists from across the life sciences sector, including biotechnology, environmental biology, sustainable agriculture and environmental monitoring.
During the congress, IUNG-PIB, partner of the NitroScope project, presented its activities related to modern environmental monitoring and data-driven agriculture.
Presenting NitroScope to the scientific community
At the IUNG-PIB stand, visitors had the opportunity to learn more about NitroScope and its work on developing smart methods for observing nitrogen cycles in the environment.
The project focuses on improving the monitoring, understanding and management of nitrogen fluxes across Europe. By combining field measurements, advanced sensing technologies and modelling approaches, NitroScope supports more informed decisions for sustainable nitrogen management.
This work is directly connected to the need for more efficient fertilisation practices, reduced nitrogen losses and improved Nitrogen Use Efficiency in agricultural systems.
Supporting sustainable agriculture through better monitoring
Nitrogen plays an essential role in crop production, but when it is not managed efficiently, it can be lost to the environment through nitrate leaching and N₂O emissions.
NitroScope aims to address this challenge by generating high-quality data and developing tools that can help farmers, researchers and policymakers better understand how nitrogen moves through soil, water and air.
Presenting the project at EUROBIOTECH created an opportunity to share this approach with a wider scientific audience and to highlight the role of environmental monitoring in the future of sustainable agriculture.
Connecting research, technology and practice
Participation in EUROBIOTECH 2026 underlined the importance of bringing together research, innovation and practical applications.
For NitroScope, events like this are valuable because they create space for knowledge exchange with scientists, technology developers and experts working on environmental and agricultural solutions.
The project will continue to contribute to the development of modern monitoring approaches that support more sustainable fertilisation, healthier soils and climate-smart agricultural systems.
