Note on this Handout version
This handout is slightly different than the presentation given.
● some slides are combined into one, in particular subsequent slides that added information slide by slide to build a list of figure.
● some slides are added, just to provide more information, in particular in the part about ERA-NET Plant Genomics
● slides indicating the different sections have been included to make the structure clearer

The ERA-NET Scheme
– the creation of an "internal market" in research(free movement of knowledge, researchers and technology)
– the restructuring of the European research fabric(improved coordination of national research activitiesand policies)
– the development of a European research policy(taking into account other EU and national policies)

The ERA-NET Scheme
● Launched in 2002 under FP6, continued under FP7
● “to step up the cooperation and co-ordination of research activities carried at national and regional level in the Member States and Associated States, through the networking of research programmes, including their mutual opening and the development of joint activities”
● ~ 100 ERA-NET Actions have been launched
● involving over 1000 participations from over 40 countries
● majority of ERA-NETs have launched joint call(s)
● ERA-NETs in areas of biotechnology, agriculture, genomics (non-exhaustive list):
ERA-NET Plant Genomics, ERA-IB, ERA Chemistry, ACE-NET, Euro Trans Bio, Woodwisdom, BiodivERsA, ERA-ARD, Core organic, Euphresco, Safe Food ERA, ERASAGE, ERA Sys Bio, ERA Pathogenomics, agriculture in the mediterranean, Animal health

ERA-NET Plant Genomics
● European Research Area Network in Plant Genomics
● Network of ministries, funding agencies and national research councils
● Co-ordination and co-operation between national plant genomics research programmes
● Working together to stimulate excellent science, drive innovation and create a fruitful environment for commercial exploitation.
● Implementing joint calls with ear-marked national budgets; 2 calls so far 55M
● Basis for continued collaboration, extension of network, new joint initiatives
● Contribution to a strong knowledge-base, contributing to a competitive European bio-economy
● Coordination costs partly covered by EC under FP 6 (ERA-NET Scheme)

Wageningen UR – India collaborations and interests – 4 examples
1. The potato genome sequencing
2. FP7 project HighNoon
3. FP7 project QBOL
4. Possible topic for collaboration: Biorefineries
![Page 32: International Collaboration in Agricultural Researchec.europa.eu/research/iscp/pdf/india-eu-conference... · International Collaboration in Agricultural Research ...

The Potato Genome Sequencing Consortium
aim : sequencing the complete genome of potatoIn addition to the benefits acquired from the sequencing the worlds fourth most important food crop the PGSC aims to actively build capacity in countries with less developed a plant genomics infrastructure. The PGSC aims to form the basis of a research network for the scientific exploitationof the sequence data in the post-genomics era.
1. The potato genome sequencing
![Page 33: International Collaboration in Agricultural Researchec.europa.eu/research/iscp/pdf/india-eu-conference... · International Collaboration in Agricultural Research ... ERA Chemistry,](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020205/5b79aaa47f8b9a331e8e52e5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Rationale for sequencing potato
• Potato is the 4th most important food crop
• Heterozygous self$incompatible tetraploid
• Large untapped gene pool resource
The Potato genome sequence will:
• Help advance plant breeding to fulfil the demands of the increasing
world population
• Enable the rapid generation of markers for breeding
• Enable identification of agronomically important genes
• Facilitate capacity building in less developed countries
• Complement the other Solanaceae$genome projects

The PGSC is a union of collaborating laboratories interested in sequencing the potato genome:
Consortium agreement is set up
Participants have their own grants and financing
Mix of pure academic and commercial partners
Data submission to public databases after 6 month quality>control “grace>period”
For example in the Netherlands a budget of around €11M
various financial resources: €3M FES (chromosome 1), €2M STW (chromosome 5), €4M Matching (Physical map, CBSG sequences etc.), €1M NGI (coordination), €1M WUR (Infrastructure, bioinformatics, etc.)

� Increasing world wide trading of plants enhances risk of spreading harmful organisms
� Decreasing taxonomic knowledge to identify Q-organisms
