ECPGR: The European Collection

The European Collection is operated as a virtual European genebank, and is composed of European Accessions conserved for the long-term by the AEGIS Associate Members on behalf of the ECPGR Member countries and being available for use or conservation only for the purposes of research, breeding and training for food and agriculture.

European Accessions are conserved in accordance with technical standards agreed upon at the ECPGR level, based on the principles of the AEGIS Quality System (AQUAS).

European Accessions are available upon signature of the Standard Material Transfer Agreement (SMTA) (129,1 KB), with an explanatory note in the case of transfer of non-Annex I crops. Requests should be addressed to the respective holding institute (check in EURISCO).
