WatchPlant EU Project

WATCHPLANT is a new EU Pathfinder project (EU-H2020-FETPROACTIVE) which proposes a radically novel approach consisting of developing a biohybrid system technology for in-situ self-powered monitoring that allows plants to wear AI components and technological interfaces, which results in creating of “smart biohybrid organisms” for environmental monitoring. The interdisciplinary consortium leaded by The Energy Technological Institute, ITE (Spain), brings together members of CSIC-IRNAS and CSIC-IDAEA (Spain), KTH (Sweden), the universities of Lübeck (Germany) and Zagreb (Croatia), the German company Cybertronica and the Polish company CIM-MES.
