We are forming a consortium for a PRIMA 2026 (Section 2 – Farming Systems, Topic 2.2.1) project focused on early detection and risk prediction of olive leaf diseases using multispectral drone imaging and artificial intelligence.
The project aims to develop a non-invasive monitoring and decision support system combining UAV data, AI-based analysis and expert field validation. Pilot activities will be carried out in Türkiye (Balıkesir region).
The consortium currently includes a university and a public authority from Türkiye, along with one EU partner. We are looking for one additional international partner (university, research institute or SME) with expertise in plant pathology (preferably olive diseases), field validation and agricultural applications.
Interested organisations are welcome to contact us. Quick response is appreciated due to the approaching deadline.
