Agropolis Fondation works with 36 research units specializing in plant research at various levels- from its genes to its environments to its final uses.
|
The Foundation's scientific network altogether involves about 1200 scientists and 600 PhD students and covers a wide range of disciplines, i.e., from bio-technical to social sciences and with recognized expertise in temperate, tropical and Mediterranean regions. These research units are collectively working on five scientific domains:
Agropolis Foundation welcomes leading and promising international scientists to work with its scientific network in Montpellier. The various research grants and support awards it offers are an excellent entry point to broaden and reinforce international research partnerships. |
