'New AEGIS' – Strengthening the AEGIS Quality System and EURISCO data coverage

The ‘New AEGIS’ project was launched at the end of 2024 to strengthen ex situ conservation and documentation in Europe by improving transparency, harmonizing quality standards, and enhancing the effectiveness of the European Genebank Integrated System (AEGIS), as well as expanding access to characterization and evaluation data for research and breeding through the European Search Catalogue for Plant Genetic Resources (EURISCO).
New AEGIS is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Agriculture, Food and Regional Identity.
