Question Title

* 3. Please outline any other current GARNet activity that you value.

Question Title

* 4. GARNet has a historic focus on promoting research using Arabidopsis as an experimental organism albeit with a broader remit to promote tools that are useful for all plant scientists.
Should this remit be maintained or altered in our future activities.
Please choose a favoured option from the following:

GARNet to maintain its current remit that focuses on Arabidopsis alongside more general support for other UK plant scientists

GARNet to slightly shift its remit to generally promote all fundamental plant science research irrespective of the experimental organism

GARNet to change its remit to support activities of UK plant scientists working on both fundamental and applied areas of research.

Question Title

* 5. Over the next five years GARNet activities will aim to promote the activities of UK plant scientists in a variety of areas.
Please indicate whether you are interested in these proposed activities (check as many as you are interested in).

Provide support for technologies that ease the transition from single cell observations to multiscale models.

Provide support for strategies to integrate machine learning for the analysis of plant science-focused datasets

Provide support for new technologies that enable the analysis of 'omic datasets (genomic, proteomic, metabolomic)

Provide a forum for discussions on how to reduce barriers for fundamental plant scientists to interact with GCRF funding

Interact with BBSRC-DTP coordinators so that GARNet training activities are tailored for PhD students and therefore considered for study credits.

GARNet to broaden its remit to support international efforts for the promotion of plant science and in establishing new overseas collaborative opportunities.

GARNet to investigate mechanisms aimed at increasing its integration with UK communities focussed on applied plant science research.
