Research organisations
Eight research organisations are involved in ENDURE.

Role in ENDURE |
|---|---|---|
INRA, Institut national de la recherche agronomiqueFranceINRA is a major actor in research related to plant health issues and their relationship with environmental and food safety issues and with sustainable development. INRA cooperates to a large extent with other leading research institutions, industries, national official bodies, technical institutes and farmers' organizations. |
Dr Pierre Ricci
|
INRA ensures the coordination of ENDURE. It is in charge of the long term strategy of ENDURE (IA1), especially the restructuring of the research programmes. It has a leading role in Designing innovative crop protection strategies (Research Activity RA2), especially on the prevention of pest incidence and the design of strategies through modelling and experimentation, and it contributes to most of the other research activities. It will participate in all dissemination activities and will lead the strategic and IPR management. |
JKI, Julius Kühn Institute - Federal Research Centre for Cultivated PlantsGermanyFrom 1st January 2008, JKI brings together the former Federal Biological Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry (BBA), Federal Centre for Breeding Research on Cultivated Plants (BAZ), and two institutes of the Federal Agricultural Research Centre (FAL): the Institute of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science and the Institute of Crop and Grassland Science. |
Dr Bernd Hommel
|
JKI coordinates Integration of knowledge and communication within the network (IA4). |
RRES, Rothamsted ResearchUKRRES is internationally recognised as a centre of excellence in pest management, carrying out research that deepens our understanding of biology, ecology, behaviour and the underlying genetics of the crop-pest system and working with stakeholders to ensure knowledge transfer into practice. |
Dr Ian Denholm
|
RRES contributes to ENDURE its wide-ranging expertise in science underpinning crop protection as well as key resources including long-term datasets and well-characterised collections of arthropods, pathogens, weeds and nematodes. It participates in several activities and coordinates the Virtual Laboratory in crop protection (IA2), the research concerning the basic understanding of the biology of crop-pest systems (RA4) and the oilseed rape case study (RA1). |
CIRAD, Centre de coopération internationale en recherche agronomique pour le développementFranceCIRAD's mission is to contribute through international cooperation to the economic development of the tropical and subtropical regions. Research fields include plant pest and disease, plant genomics and breeding, soil science, cropping systems, social sciences and public policies. |
Dr Jean-Louis Sarah
|
CIRAD coordinates external dissemination activities (SA3) and is involved in the building of communications tools. The geographic proximity with Southern Africa and Indian Ocean through La Réunion and the Carribbean basin and Latin America through the West Indies islands allow its research centres in the outermost regions of Europe to develop regional links with the neighbouring countries. It contributes to research and integrative activities in the outermost regions and countries (particularly banana and tomato case studies and invading/emerging pests). |
CNR, Consiglio Nazionale delle RicercheItalyENDURE involves two CNR Research Institutes: the Institute of Plant Protection (IPP) and the Weed Science Section (WSS) of the Institute of Agroenvironmental and Forest Biology (IBAF). IPP is organised in four research sections located in: Florence, research on plant protection, Bari, research on nematology applied to plants, Portici (Naples), research on biological control of crop pests and diseases and Turin, research on soil mycology. The Weed Science Section of IBAF is located at the Department of Environmental Agronomy and Crop Production at Padova University and is the largest weed science group in Italy. Both the Section and the Faculty of Agriculture are located at Agripolis, the largest agricultural and agro-industrial research centre in Italy. |
Dr Maurizio Sattin
|
CNR participates to the network with two Institutes (IPP and IBAF) totally complementary: IPP deals with fungi, nematods and insects while IBAF tackles weeds. Both institutes bring into the network a large experience on integrated pest management and pest biology in southern Europe. As well as participating to the research activities (RA1, RA2, RA3 and RA4), CNR intensively contributes the integrating activities (IA1, IA2) and coordinates human resources exchanges (IA3). |
IHAR, Plant Breeding and Acclimatization InstitutePolandThe Plant Breeding and Acclimatization Institute (IHAR) was founded in 1951 for research in breeding and seed production of major field crops. IHAR is responsible for improving cultivar resistance using modern DNA technologies, monitoring of quarantine diseases of potato, developing germplasm conservation and utilisation in plant breeding. |
Dr Edward Arseniuk
|
IHAR's contribution focuses on collaborative research on genetic plant improvement and genetic protection of major arable crops against pathogens of major economic importance. |
AGROS, Agroscope Swiss Federal ResearchSwitzerlandhttp://www.blw.admin.ch/agroscope Research of the Federal Office for Agriculture is tightly connected with the three agricultural research stations comprising Agroscope. Agroscope formulates and publishes scientific findings and technical principles for agricultural practice, education and consulting, for public authorities and policies as well as for science and the general public. |
Dr Franz Bigler
|
Agroscope is the leader of the research activity Multisector evaluation of crop protection methods and cropping systems (RA3). It coordinates the case studies on maize (RA1). Besides the activity within multicriterion assessment of crop protection methods and cropping systems, AGROS will participate in human resource exchanges with other partners and activities. |
PRI, Plant Research InternationalNetherlandsApplied Plant Research B.V. (PPO), Agricultural Economic Research Institute (LEI) and Plant Reseach International B.V. (PRI) are all divisions of DLO-holding B.V. The shares of DLO Holding BV are held by the DLO Foundation. The DLO Foundation and Wageningen University are the main partners in Wageningen University & Research Centre (Wageningen UR). PRI specialises in strategic research. Thanks to a sophisticated combination of knowledge and experience in genetics and reproduction, genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, crop protection, crop ecology and agro-ecosystems, PRI offers a unique range of perspectives for government and industry. It services the entire agro-production chain with scientific products, from the DNA level to production system concepts. |
Dr Piet Boonekamp
|
As PRI is strong in 'putting research to work' it will coordinate the ENDURE Information Centre (SA4) which will become a central point of reference and a 'help desk'. It participates in Knowledge integration and management (IA4) and Case studies (RA1) to bring together all relevant knowledge including farmers' 'best practices'. In addition, PRI will contribute to most of the other integration and research activities, bringing in all knowledge, facilities and concepts available. |
