Today I have presented the Genetic Resources Strategy for Europe at the ‘EU Council Working Party on Genetic Resources and Innovation in Agriculture’ on behalf of GenRes Bridge “we need a step-change to reach effective & efficient conservation!” genresbridge.eu/GRS4E

Michele Bozzano ECPGR EUFORGEN erfp_animalgenetic It is necessary 2 strengthen the coordination of European activities,alongside national government funding,introduce a contribution from the European Commission to ensure appropriate & long-term funding of the three European genetic resources networks, ECPGR , erfp_animalgenetic and EUFORGEN

GenRes Bridge ECPGR EUFORGEN erfp_animalgenetic European Commission The long-term experience of the three European Networks (ECPGR erfp_animalgenetic EUFORGEN )and their capacity to coordinate wide communities of genetic resources stakeholders is the key factor to ensure a reliable implementation of the strategies

@GenResBridge was a great project and #GRS4E a true achievement, based on the deep and wide expertise in the existing networks. I'm very happy to learn the Council WP wishes to listen and possibly also make use of the work we did.

Have you read the "Genetic Resources Strategy for Europe"? It is meant to be a point of departure for increased cooperation between the various domains and institutions dealing with the conservation and sustainable use of genetic resources in Europe and beyond. GenRes Bridge
