High-Tech Climate Chambers as a Research Core Facility

Simulating Future Growth Conditions for the Future of Our Food Supply

How will crops grow in the future under the intensified conditions of climate change? Upcoming research projects at the University of Bonn will use the new climate chamber greenhouse to explore this question. In this facility, temperature, humidity, and light can be adjusted with the highest precision for experiments. This new climate chamber greenhouse complex, covering 656 square meters, has now been inaugurated at the Faculty of Agriculture and will be used by researchers from several faculties. Adjustable parameters for lighting, humidity and temperature allow…

The CORE FACILITY

The Core Facility offers researchers 12 state-of-the-art climate chambers, ten for the safety standard S1 and two for the safety standard S2; this ensures a high degree of flexibility and safety in the realization of the experiments. The Core Facility “Climate Chambers” is operated within the Bonn Technology Campus (BTC) by the Service Platform for Plant Experiments, an organizational unit of the Faculty of Agriculture.
