How soil bacteria help plants defend themselves against disease
Researchers at the University of Liège have uncovered a new mechanism by which soil bacteria activate plants’ immune defences.
As a public university open to the world and is anchored in the scientific, cultural and economic development of its region, the University of Liège relies on its three pillars: teaching, research and community service.
ULiège trains responsible citizens who are provided with cutting-edge knowledge and critical thinking, are able to share knowledge and can push forward an increasingly complex world.
ULiège develops and promotes excellence in research, multidisciplinary and direct engagement with its instruction.
Global exposure is a top priority at the University of Liège. The institution offers a wide range of international mobility opportunities to students, researchers and staff, enabling them to enhance their cross-disciplinary skills and language knowledge.
ULiège: an experience of daily living. Located in 3 cities and 4 campuses, the university is a key player in terms of the environment and mobility.
Every year, the Fonds National pour la Recherche Scientifique (F.R.S.-FNRS) awards grants to scientists from the universities of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, enabling them to devote themselves to their scientific research. Among the grants awarded this year, 145 went to ULiège scientists.
Congratulations to them!
The FRS-FNRS (Fonds National de la Recherche Scientifique) is a non-profit foundation whose aim is to promote scientific research in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation by granting subsidies to scientists to enable them to devote themselves to their research, and to institutions to enable them to equip or operate research units. For more than 90 years, the FNRS has contributed to the development of basic research in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation through its policy of encouraging scientific excellence and supporting researchers at different stages of their careers.
