Joining Forces
• Activities will provide a framework of European national/regional structures
join forces to develop and implement approaches and strategies for the
management of crop, forest and animal GenRes
• ECPGR, EUFORGEN and ERFP will for the first time join forces with
representative stakeholders and end-users outside from the networks, to
develop a European Integrated Strategy for the Conservation and Use of crop,
forest and AnGR
• GenRes Bridge consortium encompasses partners from the fields of GenRes
management and have multidisciplinary interest and expertise to contribute to
various work packages

Background (1)
• Sustainable management of GenRes is essential for the future use, the nature
and human well-being
• include - in situ, ex situ conservation and use of GenRes
• Conservation and sustainable management - essential for using, breeding and
diversification of GenRes – to meet future demands
• Climate change – urgent need for diversification and increased production
• Genetic erosion - continues to reduce genetic diversity in crops, animals and
forest species
ERFP Secretariat | ERFP Assembly in Tallinn, Estonia | 26th – 27th August 2017

Background (2)
Many factors responsible for the situation in Europe:
• lack of a European strategy for GenRes management
• lack of access to information on GenRes
• limited access to GenRes for research and breeding
• lack of transparent information on the current use of GenRes
• lack of access to GenRes material and information from outside Europe
• lack of interaction among the crop, forest and animal GenRes

Objectives of GenRes Bridge (1)
Strengthening the conservation and sustainable use of GenRes in Europe:
• by accelerating collaborative efforts among crop, forest and animal GenRes
networks and wider
• by widening individual network capacities to enhance the status and
effectiveness of conservation and use of GenRes

Objectives of GenRes Bridge (2)
• to increase the effectiveness of sustainable management for crop, forest
and animal GenRes
• widening capacities to increase the knowledge on conserved diversity of
crop, forest and animal GenRes
• to enhance the conservation status of GenRes by establishing high quality,
harmonized standards for GenRes conservation, management and description
• to improve services offered to end-users of GenRes by promoting innovative
ways to share resources and services

CONCEPT
• GenRes Bridge will combine:
• expert knowledge from crop, forest and animal GenRes management • expert knowledge of wider (agro) biodiversity stakeholders and end-users • new scientific information and available demonstration cases
• To develop a European integrated strategy on sustainable management of
GenRes
• To secure long-term food security, non-food products and different functions of
forestry as well as ecosystem resilience

CONCEPT (2)
• GenRes Bridge will:
• improve access and quality of materials and information for conservation,
breeding, farming and forest management
• strengthen capacities of crop, forest and animal GenRes domains
geographically outside the existing three networks
• follow a participatory and transdisciplinary approach integrating
participants with broad and complementary expertise in biodiversity and
GenRes management

METHODOLOGY
GenRes Bridge comprises:
• WP1 - project management
• WP2 - will bring together stakeholders from Europe and beyond from crop, forest
and animal GenRes and wider to share existing knowledge, strategies and
perspectives
• WP3 - will provide scientific knowledge, demonstration cases and standards for
quality management of GenRes
• WP4 - will enhance documentation and information on GenRes and improve
quality and quantity of the data
• WP5 - communications and disseminations results

Work plan structure
ERFP Secretariat | ERFP Assembly in Tallinn, Estonia | 26th – 27th August 2017
European Regional Focal Point for Animal Genetic Resources www.animalgeneticresources.net
www.rfp-europe.org
1. Development and/or implementation of integrated strategies for conservation
and use of crop, forest and animal GenRes as well as for wider biodiversity
2. Enhance user oriented services provided by networks involved in plant
(agriculture and forestry) and animal GenRes management, such as:
• information systems
• genebanks and conservation units
• transfer of GenRes
• communication of GenRes science, methods and guidelines to end-users

EXPECTED IMPACTS (2)
3. Help establishing high quality, harmonized standards for the management and
description of GenRes across Europe (and beyond)
4. Increase the quantity and quality of data in established information systems for
crop, forest and animal GenRes
5. Promote innovative ways of sharing resources and services between
genebanks/ in-situ conservation sites in Europe and beyond

Support and role of the WG Documentation and information(1)
Overall concept Genresbridge “also strengthen capacities of crop, forest and animal GenRes domains geographically outside the existing three networks coverage (ENP countries) through knowledge exchange, discussions, training and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) documentation and information (WP2, WP3, WP4).” Overall methodology “WP4 will enhance documentation and information on GenRes, making it FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) and improve/enhance quality and quantity of the data in central GenRes information systems by linking databases and training data providers “

Support and role of the WG Documentation and Information(2)
Key questions:
• How the project could support the regular activities of the WG and of the ERFP in general?
• How the WG Info and Docu could support the project?
