Establishment of an european plant genetic resources information infra-structure

Objective

To improve access to plant genetic resources (PGR) maintained ex site in Europe an infrastructure for information on PGR will be established, by - Support for the creation of National PGR Inventories, to which all European countries have committed themselves. In a recent survey most European countries indicate that they need support in the form of workshops, staff exchanges, est. - Creation of a European Search Catalogue, which will be publicly accessible via the internet. This Catalogue will be automatically updated with data from the National PGR Inventories. It will be created at the coordinating body for PGRconservation in Europe (ECP/GR) who will also take responsibility to maintain the system after completion of the project.
