Collaborations in biological control
Last changed: 21 January 2025
SLU Centre for Biological Control interacts with many external stakeholders in sustainable biocontrol methods. We have contact with authorities as well as companies, interest groups and other research institutes to develop the sustainable plant protection methods of the future. CBC contributes knowledge and expertise in a variety of collaborative projects.
Contact us if you, for example, you want to start a collaboration, have suggestions for student work or want advice on an issue concerning biological control.
