FuturoLEAFOMG, it is true that time flies by! The little story I would like to tell starts about 40 years ago when I, for the first time, got impressed by biology as a science. I was 12 years old and in the 6th class when our teacher in school told us about the magic efficiency […]
Photosynthesis is one of the universally known terms from biology. Almost everyone is able to say that “That is the thing plants do.”, but there is much more to photosynthesis than one might think. But why is photosynthesis so important? Well, it was behind the Great Oxygenation Event, which made the development of life as […]

For a researcher it is always important to realise why our work is important. We often focus on our work so much that sometimes we lose the big picture. The devil is really in the details when you do research, yet the justification for the work is in the greater good. In FuturoLEAF, the big […]
23.9.2020 kick-off meeting The kick-off meeting of FuturoLEAF project was celebrated on September 23rd 2020 on-line, due to the pandemic, hosted by the project Coordinator VTT. Participants from all partners were engaged in a lively discussion despite the lack of face-to-face contact. In the meeting, the project overview and EU requirements we discussed along with […]
