STRENGHTENING PHYTOSANITARY RESEARCH PROGRAMMING AND COLLABORATION: FROM EUROPEAN TO GLOBAL PHYTOSANITARY RESEARCH COORDINATION

Project description

Expanding phytosanitary research coordination beyond European borders

While it is impossible to completely avoid all plant health challenges presented by global trade, travel and climate change, it is possible to optimise our strategies through collaboration and coordination. The Euphresco network has effectively coordinated phytosanitary research in Europe and has also attracted interest from outside Europe. However, its current structure and operations limit the full engagement of non-European members. A reflection on the role of Euphresco in the global plant health research context was needed in order to adapt the network's structure and operations to better serve a wider and more diverse membership. The EU-funded EUPHRESCO III project seeks to enhance national and regional phytosanitary research coordination and to set the foundations for global coordination.

Objective

It is not possible to avoid all the challenges to plant health posed by global trade, increasing travel activities and climate change. However, it is possible to optimise strategies to address these challenges with effective cooperation and coordination.
The success of the Euphresco self-sustained network as a platform for the coordination of European phytosanitary research has set the ground for discussions on the development of initiative(s) to address the needs of other regions of the world and on global phytosanitary research coordination. The aim of the project is to enhance national and regional phytosanitary research coordination beyond what the Euphresco self-sustained network has achieved and to set the foundations for global phytosanitary research coordination. This will be achieved by building on the foundations developed by the Euphresco self-sustained network and explore fit-for-purpose activities. The objectives of the project are:
-To develop a strategic research agenda. The document will guide phytosanitary research programming activities of EU countries and support them to address regional and global challenges through synergies with other regions/continents of the world.
-To organize joint calls on common research priorities to support and enhance international collaboration through the commissioning and implementation of research projects. Monitoring of the research projects will ensure that they remain relevant to the needs of the research funders and policy makers and impactful.
-To develop and test models for the governance, the structure and the operation of a global network for phytosanitary research coordination. A business plan will be established to guide the development of a global network for phytosanitary research coordination.
-To engage with relevant plant health research stakeholders and foster knowledge exchange, engagement in the project activities, co-development, dissemination and adoption of outputs.
