## History

The Crop Science Centre development plans began in 2015, between the University of Cambridge's Department of Plant Sciences, NIAB (National Institute of Agricultural Botany) and the Sainsbury Laboratory.[1] The research institute received £16.9m funding in 2017 from the UK Research Partnership Investment Fund (UKRPIF)[2] from Research England (United Kingdom Research and Innovation or UKRI) to build a new state-of-the-art building, designed exclusively for crop research, which opened on the 1st October 2020.

## Structure

The Crop Science Centre is based at NIAB’s Lawrence Weaver Road HQ site in Cambridge.
