Overview of the Objectif Végétal program
The Research, Education & Innovation program “Objectif Végétal”, is a regional initiative established by the Pays de la Loire Regional Council that involves teaching and research institutions as well as the international French cluster Végépolys Valley. It has been financially supported by Regional and Local authorities and the European Regional Development Fund since 2014 to reinforce the visibility and attractiveness of the regional centre for education and basic research in Plant Science, to boost collaborations with companies and reinforce the processes of economic valorization of research findings, and to develop international partnerships (for additional information: http://www.objectifvegetal.univ-angers.fr/en/index.html ).
In line with this ambition to become a European excellence centre for horticulture and seed production, the steering committee of Objectif Végétal has decided to support the organization of IHC 2022 by providing fellowships to young European scientists that intend to participate to one of the 25 proposed symposia. These fellowships will cover the registration fees and travel charges up to 1 000 € per fellowship.
