CPPS

Cambridge Partnership for Plant Sciences

Promoting Plants and Crop Science through Synergy

Organisation

CPPS provides a forum for fundamental and applied research in plant sciences to be developed throughout the Cambridge region, between University Departments, Research Institutes and Industry. Participating organisations are encouraged to provide a designated Hub, who acts by forwarding information from each organisation, and by disseminating news of CPPS activities and information to their colleagues. Individuals are also welcome to apply to join the mailing list.

The Members page provides information on existing membership, and details of how to join.

We are co-ordinated by a Steering Committee which consists of 9 Hub members, who meet quarterly to co-ordinate activities.
