National trip: Seed Valley

Dear honours student,

We are happy to announce that we will be organizing the first on location National Trip in Alkmaar and Hensbroek this academic year! We are going to Seed Valley for interesting talks by researchers in the morning and a unique tour in the afternoon! ?

Seed Valley is a company that occupies themselves with plant breeding/biotechnology, located in the Dutch province of North Holland. ? Here, crops are developed and modified in such ways that, among other things, their harvest yield increases, they are resistant to diseases and taste better. The company tries to do all of this while using as little space, energy, and water as possible. ♻️

The day’s schedule will look like this:

09.30 Rendezvous at Alkmaar Centraal.
10.00-12.00 Seed Valley Talks | 3 speakers (2 researchers + 1 professor)*
12.00-13.00 Lunch break (will be provided)
13.00-15.30 Visit Dekker Chrysanten (plant breeder + propagator) ​| transport will be taken care of
*Talks are recorded. By attending, you accept there is a possibility of you (audience) being recorded for academic purposes.
