We are experts in developing miniaturized sensors for plant stress and nutrient monitoring. For example, sensors for monitoring pH, potassium, nitrate, and other macro- and micro-nutrients. Other sensors for other analytes of interest can be designed. For this call, we offer our expertise to develop sensing platforms for screening of plant varieties that are more resilient to biotic and abiotic stresses.
We believe that Subtopic 1.2 Plant breeding for agroecological transitions can be a fit. However, we are open to other subtopics that need sensing solutions.

The Institute is dedicated to the field of Physical Science and Technologies, one of the eight areas into which research activity is divided by the CSIC. Its main area of specialization is the design and testing of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits in CMOS technology, as well as their use in different application contexts such as biomedical devices, wireless communications, data conversion, smart imagers & vision sensors, cybersecurity, neuromorphic computing and space technology.
A new research line on the development of miniaturized sensors for various applications, including plant sensing, has been established.
