The rePLANT (Reconstruction Biology in Plant Sciences) Doctoral Training Programme is an ambitious research and training initiative coordinated by the Centre for Research in Agricultural Genomic12/s (CRAG; Barcelona, Spain) together with the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research (MPIPZ; Cologne, Germany) and the John Innes Centre (JIC; Norwich, UK). CRAG and MPIPZ participate as recruiting institutions and JIC as implementing partner.

The rePLANT Programme offers 14 predoctoral grants, 7 at CRAG and 7 at MPIPZ. This Programme offers the possibility for rePLANT researchers to perform highly innovative and multidisciplinary research projects using state-of-the-art facilities within a scientifically-oriented nurturing environment.
