Infrastructure & European research

RARe is represented in GenResBridge by INRAE colleagues from the three pillars of animal, plant and forest research, and we have therefore identified GenResBridge as the appropriate arena for implementing the recommendations of our scientific council. An integrated European strategy on genetic resources that takes these specificities into account is currently being finalised, and it is important to highlight the role of CRBs in European programming, both for their participation in research projects and for their potential role as integrators between infrastructures and between biological fields.

Thus, from 2016 to 2020, H2020 research projects dedicated to animal (IMAGE), plant (G2P-SOL) and forest (GENTREE) genetic resources have produced data characterising collections, developed new methods for conserving and using resources, and developed a framework for streamlining collection management, including, for example, a self-diagnostic tool for managing the quality of gene banks and an IT architecture facilitating the integration of data on animal collections, in conjunction with the EBI. These elements are assets to be leveraged by RARe and GenResBridge.

New European projects could also provide an opportunity to promote cross-domain research activities on genetic diversity beyond the GenRes Bridge triptych.

Beyond Europe, RARe, represented by INRAE, has chosen to join the Global Genome Biodiversity Network, which has the advantage of bringing together all the fields covered by RARe and whose main objective is to facilitate knowledge of CRB collections through its data portal, http://www.ggbn.org/ggbn_portal/ .

This is the first time that an international consortium has brought together world leaders in sunflower research in the fields of ecology, economics, genetics and biotechnology, right through to sunflower ecology and breeding. Around the Horizon Europe HelEx - Helianthus Extrêmophiles project, 18 partners will be working to develop new sunflower varieties that are more resistant to high temperatures and drought, while maintaining production quality and biodiversity services.

The Grassland BRC of the Plant Pillar contributes to the coordination of the maintenance of accessions of a major forage grass in European genetic resource centers

Know more

The Grassland CRB led the ImprovLoliumCol activity of the European ECPGR network whose report was published at the end of 2022. The aim of this activity was to secure the long-term maintenance and availability of a set of English ryegrass accessions available in European genetic resource centers and to document them by valorizing the results of a European network research project (GrassLandscape project). The information concerning this set of accessions has been made public by setting up a forage species portal linked to the EURISCO database.

Creation of the European research infrastructure MIRRI-ERIC

Know more

Published on 13 July 2022 in the Official Journal of the European Union, the Commission's decision to create the MIRRI European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC), dedicated to microbial resources (https://dev.mirri.org/).

The microbial pillar of RARe, member of the European infrastructure IS_MIRRI21 is associated with the H2020 project AgroServ

Know more

The AgroServ Horizon Europe project brings together more than 70 partners for a duration of 5 years, with a funding of 15 M€. The overall mission of AgroServ is to support research and innovation by providing integrated services to achieve sustainable and resilient agriculture and support agro-ecological transitions.

Official launch of the Genetic Resources Strategy for Europe developed within the GenRes Bridge H2020 Project

Know more

The Genetic Resources Strategy for Europe developed in the frame of the GenRes Bridge project will be officially launched in Brussels on 30 November 2021.

@H2020 PRIMA SCALA-MEDI

Launch of the H2020 SCALA-MEDI project with the participation of the animal pillar

Know more

The kick-off of the H2020 SCALA-MEDI project gathered the 17 European partners for the launch of this project whose objective is the Improvement of the sustainability and quality of sheep and poultry productions by the enhancement of the adaptation potential of local breeds in the MEDIterranean area. The development of animal biobanks supported by CRB-Anim is included in the project with a deliverable on the status of collections and a proposal for networking biobanks between the 3 North African countries.
