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.
