## Description

The University of Plymouth \(UoP\) has a strong heritage and expertise in the agri-tech sector, and in 2002 activities were centralised on the main campus\. Success with soil research continues, with recent examples including the Re-Con Soil Project \(€2\.5 million\) and Agri-Tech Cornwall \(£10 million\)\. Prof\. Mark Fitzsimons is working towards a soils centre of excellence at UoP that will involve a number of national organisations\. A third of the demand for this instrument derives from work on micro-plastics pollution, another area at the forefront of research recognised by UoP's third Queen's Anniversary Prize in 2020, which will continue to grow\.
