PlantHUB
Boosting technology transfer and responsible research and innovation in plant sciences
PlantHUB Doctoral Program
PlantHUB was an European Industrial Doctoral Program (EID) funded by the H2020 PROGRAM Marie Curie Actions – People, Initial Training Networks (H2020-MSCA-ITN-2016) from December 2016 until November 2020. The program was managed by the Zurich-Basel Plant Science Center.
PlantHUB offered training to 10 PhD students in skills and competencies necessary to apply responsible research and innovation (RRI) in the area of plant breeding and production. The program addressed the demand for RRI leadership in plant science related research and diffusion of innovation.
This project received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 722338 - PlantHUB.
