This conference marks the final year of two EU FP7-KBBE projects devoted to Grain Legumes, LEGATO and EUROLEGUME, and thus the complementarity of the scientific and technical outputs developed by more than 100 researchers, from both projects. This occasion will disseminate highlights from the research accomplished, to stakeholders and society in general in a stimulating programme including leading EU project and invited speakers. The Conference is also open for receiving free communications from the project members and from other teams not belonging to the projects, to be presented as posters/oral communications
