PhenoRob is committed to the transfer of knowledge and technology. Therefore, the Cluster has established links with relevant industrial partners, policy makers, associations and other multiplicators. They are part of a network of stakeholders along the entire innovation chain of sustainable crop production forming the PhenoRob Business and Stakeholder Network (BSN). Through regular events, the BSN seeks to connect its stakeholders in order to facilitate exchange of ideas. The BSN is a gateway to:
- Solutions: early access to research and development, novel solutions, data, and large-scale infrastructure (e.g., field experiments, rhizotrone facility, field snake)
- Skills: contact to leading experts and a vast talent pool of more than 80 PhD students financed by the Cluster and many more in our partner projects
- Stakeholders: engage and co-create with other key actors (events, joint projects, etc.)
The BSN is constantly growing. Regular events and activities that form part of the network are:
- The International Conference on Digital Technologies for Sustainable Crop Production
- The PhenoRob Career Fair 2023
- Bilateral collaborations with companies
- Bilateral meetings with politicians and policy-makers
- Field days at our partner’s sites (e.g. patchCROP: Field Robotics Workshop)
- Exhibitions (e.g. Bonn Science Night, Agritechnica)
- Workshops on different topics related to the PhenoRob research program (e.g. weed control, plant protection, technology uptake)
- Workshops on entrepreneurship and related topics
- Company visits
- …
