INCREASE wishes happy holidays and enters the festive season with record registrations for its Citizen Science Experiment

As the award-winning INCREASE Citizen Science Experiment prepares for its fifth growing season, registrations seem to break last year’s pre-Christmas record. With a total of 1,627 registrations, 1,338 are newly registered participants from a whopping 25 different countries. INCREASE also welcomes 40 schools among its new participants from seven European countries. It is wonderful to have you all on board for next year’s bean growing journey!

INCREASE still encourages everyone interested in growing and investigating more than 1,000 different bean varieties to get involved. Spread the word and invite family, friends, colleagues and all bean lovers to join the experiment. There is still time to register until 28th of February 2025 and join the INCREASE community.

INCREASE wishes all partners, stakeholders and citizen scientists a delightful holiday season, filled with warmth, happiness and smiles, and a happy New Year with many bean-licious moments!

Thank you for your incredible commitment and passion to our Citizen Science Experiment in 2024. It is truly remarkable! Without you, our researchers could not advance the sustainable use of plant genetic resources and promote agrobiodiversity and its use in Europe and beyond.
