CEPLAS Symposium 2019

SMART Plants for Tomorrow's Needs

In 2018, CEPLAS successfully applied for a second funding phase within the Excellence Strategy. In the first months after the official funding start in January 2019, we took some time to set up the new program, recruit new staff and get things going.

But now, we are more than happy to introduce our new research program in the course of our CEPLAS II kick off Symposium.
