| Description | This award enabled us to develop a strong link between the plant phenotyping communities in the US and UK and a shared vision for how large-scale data should be collected, managed and shared. This has led to several subsequent activities around data sharing and accessibility and moving the international community to work with each other on this, to maximise the value of data produced. |
| Exploitation Route | the workshops and reports we contributed to have paved the way for further discussion on how to set standards for data collection and increased accessibility and bought together communities working in different countries. |
