Scientific Collaborations
Visit of the Delegation from Istituto di Scienze della Vita della Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna (ISV SSSA), Pisa, Italy, to ITQB NOVA, 3-4 May 2017
A delegation of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna (ISV SSSA) was visiting the ITQB NOVA to establish a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aiming to strengthen cultural, educational and scientific cooperation between both institutions.
Cooperation will have a strong focus on several of the GREEN-IT areas (e.g. Agroecology and Agrobiodiversity; Biomass and Bioenergy; Molecular Plant Physiology; Sustainable Agricultural Systems).
Nelson Saibo, member of the GREEN-IT Research Unit and head of the Plants for Life Ph.D. Program, is the contact person from ITQB NOVA that together with Paolo Bàrberi from ISV SSSA is responsible for catalyzing the established MoU.
