Dear colleague,
You are cordially invited to join the official opening of the new Netherlands Plant Eco-phenotyping Centre (NPEC) facility at Utrecht University.
After a long period of careful preparing and construction, NPEC Utrecht kicks off this year. We are happy to announce that the NPEC facility at Utrecht University will be officially opened on 29 September 2023.
NPEC facilitates state-of-the-art measurement of plant phenotypes to support research on genotype-phenotype associations. Establishing these associations is critical for the development of novel climate-proof crops and cropping systems, essential to secure our future food production and improve the sustainability of agriculture.
NPEC is a joint initiative of Utrecht University and Wageningen University & Research and housed in two locations. In our brand new NPEC-dedicated building on the Utrecht University campus, Utrecht University will house the Ecotron, Multi-environment and Plant-microbe interactions modules. These modules allow researchers to simulate, experimentally manipulate and study plant responses to their dynamic environments.
We eager to show you our facility. So please register, and join us for a great afternoon!
Kind regards on behalf of the Utrecht University plant biologists,
The NPEC Utrecht team |
