PRO-GRACE
Promoting a Plant Genetic Resources
Community for Europe

PRO-GRACE is a EU-funded project to develop the concept for a novel European Research Infrastructure
dedicated to cataloguing, describing, safeguarding and enhancing European plant genetic resources for food and agriculture.

The PRO-GRACE Project

Building on the Plant Genetic Resources Strategy for Europe – developed with a wide range of stakeholders by the European Cooperative Programme on Plant Genetic Resources (ECPGR) – and several EU initiatives, PRO-GRACE will address the challenges facing European plant genetic resources by building systems, processes, standards and methods, and by developing the concept, regulatory framework and governance for a functional and efficient Research Infrastructure.
