AEGIS is the ECPGR initiative aiming to efficiently conserve and provide access to unique germplasm in Europe. European governments can become AEGIS members and contribute to the decentralized European Collection by identifying genetically unique accessions, labelling them as part of AEGIS, conserving them at agreed quality standards in their Associate Member genebank/institutions and making them available in accordance with the terms and conditions set out by the FAO International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture.
