The Summer School of the LOVE TO HATE project was successfully organized in the Monastery Paou, Pelion, Greece between 19 to 23 of September 2016. The Summer School entitled ''Pesticides and Soil Microbes in the Era of Omics: Technological Advances and New Challenges for the Industry and the Academia'' was attended by 16 students, 6 Early Stage Researchers - fellows of the LOVE TO HATE project and 10 PhD students originated from Belgium, Denmark, Iran, Greece, Italy, UK and France. Internationally known experts presented the advances in the area of biodegradation, nutrient cycling, bioinformatics, metabolomics, genomics and microbial ecology, while the industrial view of the drastic changes occurring in the area of pesticide regulation was also addressed by industry experts.
