                                EPI-CATCH emphasizes on complementarities and synergies, both at the level of academic groups but
                                also at the level of industrial involvement. These interactions provide the basis to create a fast channel
                                for the exploitation of new frontiers and ideas and to guide academic research towards specific research
                                challenges. The big and multi-disciplinary consortium has been planned in a way that all partners have
                                complementary expertise. 
                                
                                Most of the COST Action partners have been
                                involved in research subjects dealing with epigenetic mechanisms of regulation of key traits in crops for
                                more than 10 years. The high number of scientists participating in EPI-CATCH will secure a high
                                scientific level of the events organized by the different working groups.
