EUCARPIA aims to promote scientific and technical co-operation in the field of plant
breeding in order to foster its further development. To achieve this purpose, the Association
arranges and sponsors meetings of members, or groups of members, to discuss general
or specific problems from all fields of plant breeding and genetic research. Any activity in
connection with a predominantly commercial interest is excluded, as EUCARPIA is a non profit
organization.
The Association
has 10 sections and a number of working groups focusing on particular crop species.
organizes section meetings, open conferences and colloquia throughout Europe each year.
has a General Congress is held every four years, together with the general assembly. These congresses
are an open forum for all members to discuss subjects of a wider interest. They provide a forum for
presentation of the problems and challenges facing plant breeding both for today and in the future.
Founded in 1956 in Wageningen (The Netherlands), EUCARPIA can look back on considerable
contributions to improving international contacts in plant breeding research for nearly fifty years.
Nowadays EUCARPIA is more active than ever before with more than a thousand members
of various nationalities and interests in Europe and world-wide.
