EPPN is an Integrating Activity, Research Infrastructure project funded by the European Union under FP7 Capacities Programme. Grant Agreement No. 284443.
1st EPPN Developer's Workshop on 13th and 14th of September 2012.
About 70 participants from very diverse fields joint the workshop which was organized by Wageningen UR and enabled a lively discussion and interaction between technology developers and the plant phenotyping community.
The scope of the workshop has covered novel sensor technologies, including, but not limited to, novel sensor development, new vision and new robotics techniques suitable for application in plant phenotyping. The topics has been presented by leading experts from outside the EPPN, with a lot of possibilities for networking and for exchange of ideas and experience. The technologies developed and utilized by the EPPN partners and at Wageningen-UR have been presented in poster sessions. After each session, there was opportunities to further discuss interesting leads with the speakers at so-called speakers’ corners.
