Focus on H2020 INVITE project
The aim of the INVITE project is to foster the introduction of new varieties with high resilience towards biotic and abiotic stresses, high adaptation to sustainable management practices, and high resource use efficiency (RUE), through improved variety testing and better information to stakeholders on variety performance under a range of contrasting production conditions. This will be exemplified by major crop species that represent the main features of propagation, food and feed uses, and exhibit significant breeding activity in the EU.
This project has brought together 29 partners from 13 countries. It is coordinated by François Laurens, IRHS unit, Angers (France)
