New European partnership to exploit barley resources and speed up breeding
“With the current development of the International Barley Hub at the James Hutton Institute, it is the perfect time for this award. It means that the consortium will not only advance barley research, but we will be able to use the IBH network and support to talk to a wider audience, expand the consortium and explore new link with the industry”
New European partnership to exploit barley resources and speed up breeding

International Barley Hub scientists have been awarded a prestigious International Partnership award from BBSRC to strengthen the link between world leading research teams between the UK and Europe. The aim of the grant is to create new working relationships and opportunities among emerging early/mid-career barley scientists between the James Hutton Institute, the University of Dundee and IPK (Germany) to exploit barley resources and accelerate barley breeding.
