  2. Contents • Objectives • Work Package 9 • Milestone and deliverables • Organization of training workshop • Cryopreservation manual

  3. Role of Partner 7- IPGRI Contribute to objective 4 of CRYMCEPT project: Validation of the improved cryopreservation and their application to European germplasm collections

  4. WP9 Objectives • Disseminate improved cryopreservation protocol and analytical techniques to relevant European research institutes and genebanks through organization of two specialized training courses • To provide policy makers first hand information on potential of new cryopreservation protocols.

  5. Milestone • Improved cryopreservation protocols and analytic techniques disseminated to scientists and technical staff from relevant research institute and genebanks

  6. Deliverables • D9.1 General recommendations for the utilization of plant cryopreservation in germplasm collections described in a cryopreservation manual (month 36) • D9.2 The implementation of two specialized training courses in cryopreservation techniques (month 35,36)

  7. Organization of workshop - process • Organization of workshop were discussed at previous steering committee meetings • ISF Ciampino- 2nd SC meeting • University of Derby – 3rd SC meeting • Venue of two workshops – • 1st Workshop hosted by KUL Leuven • 2nd Workshop hosted by IRD Montpellier • No of participants limited to 15 • Establishment of Selection Panel - agreed at 3rd SC meeting

  8. Workshop Organization - process • Preparation of announcement by IPGRI – endorsement of Selection panel • Announcement of the training workshops in December 2004 through: • IPGRI website • networks (regional, crop) • ECP/GR • Newsletters • CRYMCEPT Partners • Other organizations e.g. FAO • Individuals & Private sector.

  13. First Workshop held in Leuven Sept 05 completed • Good feed back from participants

  14. Second Workshop • The second workshop will take place at IRD Montpellier from 10 to 21 October 2005

  15. Cryopreservation Manual • No specific budget allocated to produce a manual • General recommendation for utilization of cryopreservation in germplasm collections – outcome of CRYMCEPT • Lessons learnt as a basis for our recommendation • Propose as a follow up – translate the results into a publication in next phase
