About ECPGR
The European Cooperative Programme for Plant Genetic Resources (ECPGR) (formerly "European Cooperative Programme for Crop Genetic Resources Networks - ECP/GR) was founded in 1980 on the basis of the recommendations of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Genebank Committee of the European Association for Research on Plant Breeding (EUCARPIA).
ECPGR is a collaborative Programme among most European countries, aimed at contributing to national, sub-regional and regional Programmes in Europe to rationally and effectively conserve ex situ and in situ Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and increase their utilization.
The Programme, which is entirely financed by the member countries, is coordinated by a Secretariat hosted by Bioversity International. The Programme operates through broadly focused Networks dealing with groups of crops or general themes related to plant genetic resources.
ECPGR is guided by a Steering Committee.
