The GenRes Bridge project (2019-2021) aims to strengthen conservation and sustainable use of genetic resources (GenRes).
By genetic resources, we mean the heritable materials maintained within and among agricultural crops, tree species or animal breeds, of actual or potential economic, environmental, scientific or societal value.
The project brings together the three pan-European GenRes networks: ECPGR for plants, EUFORGEN for forests and ERFP for livestock. Participants share perspectives, exchange best practices, harmonise standards and broadly improve capacities across the plant, forest and animal domains.
This Gateway is one of the products of this project.
The project received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
