Strenghten synergies between academic research and innovation
Boost translational research
- Ensure a permanent dialogue between academic laboratories and privates companies,
- Make research projects emerge from a common forward-looking view,
- Create a pole for engineering serving integrative plant biology.
Build and promote the offer of academic research to private companies
- Promote the oportunities of research projects with private companies,
- Develop an offer of professional training with high research content.
Reinforce the processes of economic valorisation of research findings
- Increase the detection of research projects that can be exploited in the industrial sector, help these projects accompanied towards their valorisation in the industry,
- Make students and researchers more aware of research valorisation and entrepreneurship.
Main results expected by 2020
- The establishment of a platform for high-throughput phenotyping,
- An increase in the number of projects (industrial PhD fellowships, industrial projects), industrial property titles and incubating enterprises,
- A full catalogue of skills training and graduate education which can be tailored on request,
- A better integration of young PhD graduates in private companies.
Results
- Integration of the Phenotic platform in the EPPN2020 and European Multi-environment Plant pHenomics And Simulation InfraStructure-EMPHASIS-FR networks
- 3 joint company-research laboratories (ANR LabCom): ESTIM (development of new screening methods and decision support tools for plant resistance inducers and biostimulants), FeedIn Tech (plants and plant extracts for a precision animal nutrition), MATCH (alternative methods to chemical treatments on Hydrangea)
- 4 Research-Companies days co-organised with Végépolys Valley
- 12 CIFRE or industrial PhDs started
- 17 invention disclosure reports
- Green-Impulse start-up exploiting, among other activities, a technology patented by the University of Angers
