There is currently a very active connection with the group of Malcolm Bennett, at the Centre for Plant Integrative Biology (CPIB) in Nottingham, UK. The CPIB invests in the development of OpenAlea at the tissue level. In this context, both groups have regular meetings and visio conference to progress jointly on the definition of the platform. In particular, C. Godin, M. Walker and E. Farcot went to a 1-week meeting on tissue data-structure definition and several researchers from CPIB came to Montpellier to continue this work and start implementation.

The team of Pr. Prusinkiewicz at the University of Calgary (Canada) has been an associated team of Virtual Plants from 2009 to 2011. see http://www-sop.inria.fr/virtualplants/wiki/doku.php?id=projects:eqass-vp-uc . In 2012 the collaboration continued and a major paper the L-Py language for modeling plants was published in the context of this collaboration.
