About
The Plant Biotechnology Research Group at the Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena (UPCT, Spain) is looking for partners for Horizon Europe collaborative projects related to sustainable agriculture, crop resilience and climate adaptation.
Our expertise includes:
• Plant tissue culture and in vitro propagation
• Plant biotechnology and plant physiology
• Biostimulants and seed priming approaches
• Abiotic stress tolerance (salinity, drought and heavy metal stress)
• Secondary metabolites and antioxidant compounds
• Medicinal and aromatic plants
• Evaluation of plant growth, physiological and biochemical responses
We are interested in joining consortia addressing innovative strategies to improve crop performance, sustainability and resilience under environmental stress conditions.
We welcome collaboration with universities, research institutes, SMEs, industry partners and other stakeholders working on sustainable agriculture, plant-based solutions, bioeconomy and climate-smart farming.
