The EU Marie Curie Chair is especially dedicated to initiate new directions in thinking in the area of applied botany by combining interdisciplinarity and systemic thinking and through linking fundamental leading edge research directly to application in molecular plant breeding for sustainable agriculture and for alternative energy supply.
Science has 'faces' and is embedded in the society. Thus, the Chair feels responsible to the career of younger scientists and the welfare of the society in a regional, national and global sense.
The Chair supports decentralization in science and internationalization through coordinated virtual team building and aims to provide an appropriate novel type of infrastructure. The Chair Holder believes in the power of individual originality and the creativity of chaos.
