January 24, 2022. 3rd anniversary of the signing of the public deed setting up the InnovPlantProtect - Association collaborative laboratory. What a journey! Congratulations to the entire team, associates, members of the governing bodies and partners who have contributed and are contributing today to the birth and growth of this young CoLAB.

Completing the multilingual, multicultural and multidiverse team of 39 people that make up InPP today was one of the great achievements of the last year. Find out what brought us to Elvas and why we decided to stake our professional and personal lives on the challenge that is InnovPlantProtect. Watch the video on our YouTube channel.

To put into practice the knowledge I've acquired over more than 12 years abroad in the service of my country's scientific development.

“Building a new institution is always a challenge and a risk. These three years have shown just that: the need to take risks and accept the challenge of overcoming difficulty after difficulty,” recognizes Pedro Fevereiro, executive director of “CoLAB de Elvas”. “The pillar that sustains InnovPlantProtect is people. And it is to all the people who have accepted the challenge of coming to build that the (over)experience and growth of InPP is due. It will continue to grow. Thank you for that.”

For the chance to settle in the country I chose to live in and live in a beautiful city like Elvas
