EUCARPIA

EUCARPIA, the European Association for Research on Plant Breeding, is a non-profit scientific association officially seated in Wageningen in the Netherlands that promotes scientific and technical cooperation among plant breeders and researchers. Founded in 1956, it organises a general congress and specialist conferences through sections covering cereals, maize and sorghum, potatoes, vegetables, fruit, ornamentals, fodder crops, oil and protein crops, genetic resources, biometrics and organic agriculture. Its executive secretariat is hosted by the University of Naples Federico II in Portici, and it offers individual and corporate membership with reduced event rates and annual bulletins.
