Outcomes of the Sixth Call - Phase X

The Sixth Call of the ECPGR Activity Grant Scheme was launched on 23 August 2022, with a deadline on 15 November 2022.

Out of the seven new proposals submitted, the ExCo selected for funding the proposals submitted by the Working Groups on:

• Allium, Cryopreservation, and Documentation & Information ('Garli-CCS', with the aim to develop an efficient conservation strategy for European garlic accessions in conjunction with cryopreservation and increased access for breeders and producers through prioritization, rationalization and acquisition activities)

• Grain Legumes ('ExploDiv', with the aim to identify and secure the diversity of in situ grain legume genetic resources to sustain adaptive capacity for resilience to climate change; and 'forEVA', with the aim to lay the foundations of an EVA-legume network, which will eventually ensure comprehensive characterization and evaluation of legume germplasm)

• On-farm Conservation & Management, and Wheat ('INWHEATORY', with the aim to create national inventories of wheat landraces)

• Potato ('EURO-POTATOES', with the aim to expand the number of potato accessions flagged in AEGIS)

• Vitis ('Sylvestris', with the aim to update and enrich the findings on wild grapevine (Vitis vinifera subsp. sylvestris) occurrence in Europe as a follow-up to the previous Grant Scheme Activity 'InWiGrape')

Requests for clarifications are expressed in the Letter of Award.
