Teachers from vocational schools in Spain visited CPSBB

 

Over 20 teachers from vocational schools in Spain visited the scientific complex of CPSBB, interested in potential possibilities for students’ exchange  programs between Spanish educational institutions and CPSBB. They were welcomed by Dr. Nikola Staykov, researcher at the Molecular Stress Physiology department of CPSBB. He guided the guests  through the whole campus of CPSBB, including the laboratories, green houses, and growth chambers of the newly built Center of excellence.

Some of the current scientific project conducted in CPSBB were also presented in the green house facilities – NatGenCrop project (improving nutritional properties and stress tolerance in tomatoes and peppers), CropPrime (developing natural products for plant protection), and BOOSTER (boosting yield in maize and teff), and others.
