  2. PGR Forum: primary objectives • Create a Crop Wild Relative Information System (CWRIS) providing access to crop wild relative data • Develop methodologies and practical guidelines for the in situ conservation of crop wild relatives (in situ data management, threat and conservation assessment, genetic reserve location and management, population monitoring, and genetic erosion and pollution assessment) • Communicate results to stakeholders, policy makers and user groups as a means of aiding the efficient and effective conservation and use of crop wild relative diversity PGR Forum - EVK2-2001-00192 Fifth Framework Programme for Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development www.pgrforum.org

  3. Work package 6: primary objectives • Dissemination and exploitation of the products generated by the project • Organisation of the final conference PGR Forum - EVK2-2001-00192 Fifth Framework Programme for Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development www.pgrforum.org
