Improving access to FORest GENetic Resources Information and Services for End-USers

More

FORGENIUS project provides an insight into the diversity of European forests and their resilience to climate change.

Using state-of-the-art technology and knowledge in plant and evolutionary biology, ecology, remote-sensing, genomics, genetics, modelling, and forestry, FORGENIUS is upgrading the data and information on Genetic Conservation Units and creating services for end users, providing the key to invent new, adaptive strategies to preserve European forests at the continental level.

EUFGIS upgrade

With a totally new interface and query function, the upgraded EUFGIS Information System is an essential tool for national authorities responsible for the management of Genetic Conservation Units networks, as well as for the wider conservation community.

Objectives

Harness the power of remote sensing, genomics, advanced phenotyping and multiple models to assess the longevity of GCUs

Increase the quantity and quality of data in the EUFGIS Information System

Create novel services for end users in the forest genetic resources community and others

Partners

FORGENIUS involves academic research groups, non-profit organizations and the private sector.

Project Structure

The core activities in FORGENIUS flow from data-acquisition, modelling, and index-building.
These will result in services provided to end-users. The project will also ensure communication within and outside the project.
