Whereas the GPZ bridges plant science and breeding in Germany, the EUCARPIA aims to promote scientific and technical co-operation in the field of plant breeding in order to foster its further development on the European level.
EUCARPIA was founded in Wageningen (The Netherlands) in 1956. The association is a non-profit organization. It has about 1000 members, EUCARPIA comprises 11 sections and a number of working groups active in specific fields of interest.
The Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research is a public non-university research institute with about 500 employees from over 30 nationalities. IPK`s mission is to study crop biodiversity for a better understanding of crop plant performance as a foundation for Bioeconomy in the time of global change. IPK is a leading institute in cereal genome analysis.
