Added value and impact
• General
o
Adding value to existing funded projects by creating a
network
o
Support young promising researchers (m/f)
o
Support inclusiveness countries
Challenges
• Europe has some world-leading groups in plant
phenotyping but there is still a long way to go until it finds
its way to the general plant community and educational
programmes.
• The complexity (GxExM), extrapolation from the lab to the
field
• An essential next step to implement phenotyping in the
European Research Area is the establishment of a network
of researchers of different disciplines
Objectives
1. Disseminate the results of high throughput phenotyping
(plant & cell) and novel techniques
2. Integrate results from different omics levels
(phenomics, metabolomics, proteomics, transcriptomics,
genomics)
3. Link between academia and industry/practice
4. Train young scientists in a multidisciplinary attitude
(complexity of genotype x environment x management)
genomics
metabolomics
proteomics
transcriptomics
Cell phenotyping
