The Crop Science Centre (informally known as 3CS during its planning) is an alliance between the University of Cambridge and National Institute of Agricultural Botany (NIAB).
History
[edit]The Crop Science Centre development plans began in 2015, between the University of Cambridge's Department of Plant Sciences, National Institute of Agricultural Botany and the Sainsbury Laboratory.[1] The research institute received £16.9m funding in 2017 from the UK Research Partnership Investment Fund[2] from Research England (United Kingdom Research and Innovation) to build a new state-of-the-art building, designed exclusively for crop research, which opened on 1 October 2020.
Structure
[edit]The Crop Science Centre is based at NIAB's Lawrence Weaver Road HQ site in Cambridge.
