About us
Through mentored research, training, and program activities under the guidance of researchers in academia and industry, students will gain research skills and interact with scientists from diverse fields including plant breeding and genetics, crop production, ecology, plant-based biofuels, and supply chain development. Students will develop competence in interdisciplinary communication and problem-solving.
Research experiences are available at multiple locations including University of Minnesota, Illinois State University, Western Illinois University, Ohio State University and with private sector partners in the region. Students who are interested in finding solutions to complex, interdisciplinary challenges related to sustainable land use are strongly encouraged to apply.
