Partners
The Max Planck Center on next Generation Insect Chemical Ecology (nGICE) is a high level cooperation between the Max Planck Society, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), and Lund University. The purpose is to allocate complementary resources, such as scientific expertise, techniques and equipment, to an urgent research field during 5 years. All partners contribute equally to the funding.
