Fundraising
The department is working
with others across the university to seek funds to support an expansion of infrastructure
and to finance new academic posts and studentships in the Plants
for the 21st Century Institute (P21C).
Infrastructure
P21C is situated in the existing Plant Sciences Building in the Oxford Science Area.
We seek funds to refurbish space in this building to allow for an expansion in the
number of research groups housed within it. In addition, we seek support to build
a large-scale plant growth facility at the Begbroke Science Park, which will complement
smaller facilities that have recently been installed in the Plant Sciences Building.
The Begbroke site provides a rare opportunity to design and construct glasshouse
facilities that will use sustainable energy sources. The location also provides
excellent opportunities for fieldscale experiments. For further information please
contact
Professor Jane A Langdale.
