The ACTIONr project wrapped up with its Closing Meeting in Larissa, Greece (29–30 Oct 2025), with reflections on achievements and highlights from all WPs. Thank you to all partners for making this journey meaningful. Grateful for what we built and excited for what comes next.

As part of ACTIONr closing events, we hosted a hands-on SIP (Stable Isotope Probing) Workshop in Larissa. Led by CNRS experts: Dr. Graeme Nicol and Dr. Christina Hazard. Huge thanks to all participants and trainers!

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT📣: I haven’t been this excited to be part of something new in 15 years… Thrilled to reveal the passion project I’ve been working on for the past year and a half!🙀🥳 It started from my frustration with the depressing effect that the current publishing system has on the well-being of myself, my team, and pretty much every scientist I know (maybe you’ve noticed from my stupid jokes… :) I was exhausted of dealing with the huge delays, reviewers that can be abusive, and how arbitrary it all is. Unfortunately, the most important factors are often WHO your reviewers are and who YOU are... It’s clear we need alternatives or at least ways to improve the situation. So, together with a really special and talented team we worked to develop this idea into “qed” a platform where you can get CONSTRUCTIVE feedback on your own work or CRITICALLY assess other people’s papers. It can be a real difference maker if many of you join us (thousands have tried it already, but today we release a NEW and much stronger version ;) Let’s harness qed to put the power back in the scientists’ hands, to do, to read & to publish science on our own terms. I’m dying for you to TRY IT, and it’s very simple - just drop a paper (the link to the website is in the replies👇) - it’s completely secure, private, and free, and you get results fast. Please show your support, SHARE, tell your friends, and let’s be the revolution 🫵!

Proud to present ACTIONr at the Thessaloniki International Fair 2025, representing the University of Thessaly! Thanks to all who stopped by our stand 🙌

Our first scientific article "Dicyandiamide (DCD) and 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate (DMPP) demonstrate distinct inhibitory activity, dissipation patterns and off-target effects in soils under repeated exposure regimes" is published! Have a look here: doi.org/10.1007/s00374…

Did you know that wheat 🌾 crop can exudate natural compounds (BNIs) which can help lower GHG emissions and pollution in the water bodies Excited to share our recent article @PlantBiotechJ @wileyplantsci 🖇️ doi.org/10.1111/pbi.70… @stem_univie @CropGlobal @rhizosphere

Natural variation in #wheat #BNI activity revealed via a refined high-throughput assay! Many thanks to all co-authors from the group of @WeckwerthWolf, @plant_env and @Archaea_Vienna and all other great people that contributed!! Check it out!! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pb…

Η σημερινή κυβέρνηση αποτελεί όνειδος για την παιδεία και την έρευνα. Το ΜέΡΑ25 στέκεται στο πλευρό των πραγματικών ερευνητ(ρι)ών, που ανησυχούν για το μέλλον τους σε ένα τοπίο καθημαγμένης χώρας. ➤ shorturl.at/XPwES 🔸Να αθωωθούν οι συλληφθέντες και να σταματήσουν οι διώξεις εργαζομένων και φοιτητ(ρι)ών. 🔸Να δοθούν κονδύλια για την έρευνα στα πανεπιστήμια.

Ο πρύτανης του #ΕΜΠ, Ιωάννης Χατζηγεωργίου, αποκαλεί ερευνητές/ριες του παν/μιου «ασύμβατα μοσχεύματα» & καλεί ΜΑΤ&ΟΠΚΕ για να συλλάβει 10δες μέλη του Σωματείου στην Έρευνα (ΣΕΡΕΤΕ) που ζητούν μισθούς-ασφάλιση. Παίρνει εύσημα από Άδωνι Γεωργιάδη! #antireport #κυβερνηση_Μητσοτακη
