HFFA Report: EMPHASIS RI Socioeconomic Impact Assessment
In 2025, EMPHASIS partnered with HFFA Research to conduct an independent study on the socioeconomic impact of plant phenotyping in Europe, with a particular focus on EMPHASIS’s role in this rapidly advancing field. The report combines data analysis with insights from key stakeholders to evaluate progress to date, highlight where value is already emerging, and identify the factors that will be most important as EMPHASIS prepares for its next phase.

User Survey
Deliverables completed thus far within EMPHASIS-PREP:
- EMPHASIS aims at developing a long-term sustainable strategy for a user-driven plant phenotyping infrastructure providing services demanded by the plant science community at large.In 2018, we analysed the real user demands towards EMPHASIS by performing an extensive survey with 320 participants.View survey results
- In 2021, we carried out another survey to evaluate the current state of plant phenotyping across Europe and the world. More than 800 participants from all over the world have completed the survey.We have published the survey responses for the benefit of the community; analyses and summaries of the survey results will follow.View survey responses
