The international capacity-building project “Portfolio of technology transfer for acceleration and improvement of wheat breeding activities in Ukraine” was granted by Swedish Institute (SI) to support the academic community of Ukraine. The main goal of the project is to broaden the knowledge of Ukrainian scientists about the latest methodologies and technologies applied in wheat breeding, which can speed up the breeding of wheat varieties. This will be very crucial for the Ukrainian economy at Post-War period. This project will also provide a basis for preparing research project applications to strengthen the wheat breeding program in Ukraine.
During the project, scientists and breeders from Ukraine will have possibility to have trainings in Sweden (SLU) and Lithuania (LAMMC), to participate in meetings, workshops, and conferences.
Project period: 2022 12 01 – 2024 05 31
Project leader: Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU, Sweden); partners: Lithuania Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry (LAMMC) (coordinator Dr Rita Armonienė), agricultural cooperative “Lantmännen” (Sweden) and Plant Breeding and Genetics Institute - National Center of Seed and Cultivar Investigation (PBGI-NCSCI, Ukraine).
