NWO and Plantum would like to invite researchers to share their ideas and to join in the route to climate smart plant production. Ensured quality, harvest certainty and resilience are main issues for plant production of the near future. Because of their world leading position, Dutch plant breeding companies have a huge impact on the global availability of solutions for production challenges when it comes to biotic stresses and productivity under normal conditions. But for the challenges on abiotic stresses, there is a lack of knowledge.
NWO funds sixteen PhD students through the Industrial Doctorates programme. They will carry out their research at both a knowledge institution and a participating company. The chance that the knowledge actually finds its way into practice increases when both the company and knowledge institution work closely together. The Industrial Doctorates programme contributes to intensive collaboration and focuses strongly on talent development of the PhD student. Special attention was given to cooperation with SMEs. In seven proposals, the PhD student will execute part of the research at an SME.
