3 European H2020 organizations list this as part of their work — 2 as their primary capability.
Most active in this area
- INSTITUT NATIONAL DE LA RECHERCHE AGRONOMIQUE
Morocco's national agricultural research institute specializing in olive genetic resources, pre-breeding, and agri-waste valorization for energy.
“Central to BeFOre (Bioresources for Oliviculture), GEN4OLIVE (olive germplasm banks, wild/ancient olives, genotyping/phenotyping), and IMAGE (genetic resource management).”
PrimaryMA6 projects - ANKARA UNIVERSITESI
Turkish public university contributing plant ecology, olive genetic resources, and research ethics expertise to large European consortia.
“GEN4OLIVE project — their largest funded effort (EUR 216K) — covers olive germplasm banks, genotyping, phenotyping, and wild/ancient olive conservation.”
TR6 projects - SANTA CRUZ INGENIERIA SL
Sevilla SME combining olive bioactive ingredient extraction with AI-assisted genetic resource management for Mediterranean crop breeding.
“GEN4OLIVE involves mobilizing olive germplasm banks, characterizing wild and ancient olive varieties, and supporting pre-breeding activities through genotyping and phenotyping.”
