Jan IngenHousz Institute Foundation
Mission
The overarching goal of JII is to increase the efficiency and robustness of photosynthesis, which in turn should lead to more productive and sustainable agriculture.
We acknowledge that a challenge of this magnitude requires new, integrated approaches and collaborations. Therefore, we aim to build a network of excellent research groups and facilities, coordinated by principal investigators within JII. They will coordinate all the participating groups and projects and lead the development and deployment of an open science platform with integrated data and modeling pipeline. This way, we can realize our mission of catalyzing the broad field of photosynthesis research and achieve the improvements in crop yield.

Contribution to Open Science
The Jan IngenHousz Institute (JII) is a nonprofit research institute with the ambition to improve agricultural productivity, sustainability, and climate resilience. Named after the Dutch scientist who discovered photosynthesis, JII studies this vital process with the ultimate goal to enhance crop efficiency. Given photosynthesis’s complexity and variability, JII integrates global research efforts through an Open Science Framework that fosters collaboration among scientists, engineers, and crop developers. Its independent funding enables innovative approaches to bring together the expertise needed to advance sustainable agriculture and address climate challenges.
Goals and objectives
Our goal is to be nothing short of completely open. We value and adhere to the Open Science principles in the setup of our organization, and we always consider these as starting points when we work on the expansion of our institute and research ecosystem.
