abstract = {BackgroundPlant Genetic Resources (PGR) are crucial for
sustainable agriculture and food security, but the roadmap
of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures
(ESFRI) lacks a dedicated research infrastructure (RI) for
their systematic cataloguing, safeguarding and improvement.
To fill this gap, we propose a new RI concept specifically
for PGR in Europe.ScopeThe proposed RI called “Plant
Genetic Resources Community for Europe” (GRACE) is aimed
to support current and future research projects on PGR,
enhance collaboration across European countries, unlock the
adaptive potential of crop biodiversity preserved in PGR
collections, and strengthen the current and future
sustainability of the food chain in Europe. As part of the
preparatory project “Promoting a Plant Genetic Resource
Community for Europe” (PRO-GRACE), we analysed the current
landscape of European RIs supporting PGR-related research in
complementary fields regarding research aims, research
products, and features/services.ConclusionsThrough a robust
quantitative approach, we have identified gaps and potential
synergies among six RIs from the Health and Food and
Environment domains of the ESFRI roadmap. These findings
were discussed in the context of European PGR research
priorities and current societal needs, and the
implementation of GRACE was proposed as a strategic response
to these challenges.},
