Wageningen UR
Wageningen UR (Wageningen University and Research Centre) in The Netherlands is an agricultural research centre that has caused controversy over its research partnerships with the agrochemical and GM industry.
Wageningen UR is the base for the research organisation, Plant Research International, which works within the Plant Sciences Group of Wageningen UR, together with Applied Plant Research (PPO) and Plant Sciences of Wageningen University.[1]

According to an investigation by the Dutch television programme, Zembla ("The Murder of the Honeybee"), Wageningen UR's ties with chemical giants such as Bayer and BASF have prevented it from being objective in its evaluation of the role of pesticides in bee mortality. Zembla listed all the projects Wageningen UR has carried out with third parties such as BASF and Bayer. Wageningen UR replied that these ties do not influence its research outcomes.[2]
