Grand Federative Projects

The Grand Federative Projects (GFP) seek to reinforce the Foundation's primary focus towards interdisciplinary, innovation, integration and international partnerships. It involves the two thematic domains of the Foundation, i.e., Integrative Plant Biology (IPB); and Social and Technological Dynamics of Innovation (STDI). These projects favor an integrated approach to plant (i.e., from genes to its environment to its final uses), and interdisciplinary interactions notably between social and natural scienThese projects are expected to result into a real scientific breakthrough and include a robust training through research component. These GFPs are widely open to partnership at the national and international level, with both public and private sectors.
