The 6th International Plant Phenotyping Symposium, IPPS2019


 

Plant phenotyping is becoming the central field of research and application in academia and industry providing a fertile ground for the development of new phenotyping technologies, platforms and methods required to address future grand challenges. Within the  6th International Plant Phenotyping Symposium we will address the recent development in plant phenotyping and provide a platfrom for discussion and exchange:

  • ...from technology:
    discussing the latest and future technological and sensor developments in plant phenotyping including cost effective applications.
  • ...to data:
    addressing the latest developments that will enable the reusability of data from acquisition to to management and reuse and modelling.
  • ...to impact:
    outlining the success stories in plant phenotyping leading improved plant production.

The Symposium will be complemented by a training school befor the symposium to specifically address early career scientists
