Researchers at UH have benefitted from the National Plant phenotyping infrastructure for research, development, and education-based projects on image-based phenotyping. Descriptions are found in the “earlier projects” document, including NordForsk funded “Upscale” project for “upscaling crop performance monitoring by linking satellite and field biosignatures”, H2020 project “European Plant Phenotyping Network 2020 for research and development of plant phenotyping” and Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of Finland “Kuka” project for “using imaging technologies to provide solutions to the challenges of greenhouse production.” Currently UH and UB are co-operating in a COST Action CA22136 Pangeos on “PanEuropean Network of Green Deal Agriculture and Forestry Earth Observation Science” and have delivered teaching in Nordic University Hub NOVA course series on Plant Phenotyping technologies in plant – environment interactions. These previous networks through which research training was archived showcase how skills will be transferred to academic staff and students at the HEIs in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. The HEIs in these countries have also previously worked together with their counterparts in eastern Africa on matters of scientific research. For example, research exchanges between MAK and UH as part of BIO-EARN were supported by SIDA-SAREC with a mission to build capacity in biotechnology in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda and promote appropriate research and related policies. This led to successful training of up to 20 young scientists in the region, specialising in different fields. BIO-EARN is East African Regional Programme and Research Network for Biotechnology, Biosafety and Biotechnology Policy Development as a joint effort between the Swedish Government and four Eastern Africa Countries of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Ethiopia in maximising the application of biotechnology under local conditions in the region. This boosted the capacity of the region in various areas, including plant pathology. Similarly, researchers from UH have been supported by the Academy of Finland for extensive research on sweetpotato viruses in eastern Africa and research investment in institutions in eastern Africa.
