Partnership with INRIA on Computational Plants and Eco-Systems

This partnership is aimed at building computer models that simulate plant development, lifecycles and environmental interactions, in order to compare the predictions made by modeling with in-field observations and help guide experiments. The challenges include the optimization and the adaptation of production systems as a response to climatic change and severe biological stress, within the context of sustainable development.
