Welcome
Welcome to the cross-sector panel (CP) pages. From here you can download research project reports, factsheets and HDC News articles.
The HDC Board's strategy for cross-sector activity has been to identify a number of issues and topics that have relevance to all sectors and to commission appropriate schemes, scoping studies, strategic reviews, and some research and technology transfer projects.
Studentship Scheme
Since its inception in 2000 the HDC Studentship Scheme has helped to produce high quality research outputs, based on original ideas, leading to benefits to the horticultural industry. Crucially, the scheme has also delivered high-calibre practically-minded individuals to the industry for employment within both the commercial and academic horticultural arenas.

Fellowship scheme
In response to the continuing reduction in funding available for applied horticultural research and knowledge transfer, the East Malling Trust (EMT), the Horticultural Development Company (HDC), and the Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) agreed to fund up to five Horticultural Fellowship Awards (HFAs) to provide essential underpinning funding for UK-based horticultural applied researchers working in fields of study crucial to the future efficiency and competitiveness of horticultural crops grown in Britain.
