From gifted PhD students to visionary leaders at innovative research institutes, we enable exceptional talent to make their mark in plant science, forging new discoveries in fundamental plant biology as well as beneficial developments in the field.
We support people and ideas with the potential to make a significant contribution to plant science and its applications, through PhD studentships for outstanding young scientists, small grants for exceptional researchers, and support to organisations involved in innovative research work.
Projects
Rigorous selection criteria, generous funding, high expectations and a comprehensive package of training ensure our PhD studentships attract and develop exceptional talent among young scientists who will become tomorrow’s leaders in science.
We provide core funding to the Two Blades Foundation, a charitable organisation which supports the development of crops with long-term disease resistance, and promotes their deployment in agriculture worldwide, focusing particularly on developing countries.
The Gatsby Plant Science small grants programme funds exceptional research projects that are unlikely to attract support from research councils or other funding agencies.
