Helmholtz-Partnership for Plant Sciences (HP-PS)

Since 2017, plant research activities in the Helmholtz Association have been strategically bundled within the framework of the "Helmholtz Partnership for Plant Sciences" (HP-PS). The participating centers, Forschungszentrum Jülich and Helmholtz Zentrum München, have set themselves the goal here of deepening their cooperation, which has existed for more than 15 years, and developing a joint research strategy in the areas of obtaining plant-based products, nutrition and biotechnology.

Focus areas

Plant research at the two centers is geared to bioeconomic research at Forschungszentrum Jülich and health research at HMGU and focuses on aspects of optimizing yield and quality, sustainable production and plant health for food and crop plants. To this end, joint governance structures were created and cross-location projects initiated. The activities also include staff exchanges and the joint use of existing research infrastructures.
