Location
Wageningen Plant Research (WPR) (previously known as "Plant Research International") is the largest plant research institute in The Netherlands and conducts multidisciplinary research in the fields of breeding, agronomy, genomics, bioinformatics and plant-environment interactions. Together with plant-research related chairs from Wageningen University it forms the Plant Sciences Group, which is part of Wageningen University & Research.
WPR plays an important role in many national and international biotechnology and genomics initiatives in which functional genomics research programs have been established with a key aim to identify complex genetic and biochemical mechanisms underlying quality traits.
Wageningen University & Research is a collaboration between Wageningen University and the Wageningen Research foundation.
That is the mission of Wageningen University & Research. A staff of 6,500 and 10,000 students from over 100 countries work everywhere around the world in the domain of healthy food and living environment for governments and the business community-at-large.
