Research and Development (R&D) is central to Syngenta’s business; innovation enables us to meet the needs of the constantly evolving agricultural markets. Last year we invested more than $1 billion in R&D to develop new and improved methods of enhancing crop yield and quality. Jealott’s Hill International Research Centre, the largest agricultural research site in the UK, is one of five main R&D centres in our global network.

The Syngenta scholarship for organic chemists reflects our belief in encouraging and rewarding scientific excellence.

Up to six participants in the workshop will be awarded scholarships of £1,000 as well as funding of up to £1,000 to attend a scientific conference of their choice.
