The Dutch Graduate School "Experimental Plant Sciences" (EPS)
EPS is a collaborative research and teaching institution of Wageningen University (WU), Radboud University (RU), Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU), Leiden University (LU), University of Amsterdam (UvA) and Utrecht University (UU). The main purpose of its educational programme is to guarantee a high scientific level for all students graduated within the context of EPS.
EPS was founded in 1992 in order to organise and coordinate the fundamental and translational plant research of the collaborating universities, aiming at the development of new principles in plant breeding, crop protection and plant growth for sustainable agriculture and horticulture. EPS provides a national platform for plant sciences in the Netherlands with international cooperations within and outside Europe such as the membership within the EPSO. In the past years EPS research has rapidly moved to the international model of scientific developments.
