Project Duration
GEN4OLIVE is an European funded project that aims at accelerating the mobilisation of Olive GenRes and enhance olive pre-breeding activities through a multi-actor approach, by: 1. Developing easy-to-use tools to leverage the information collected through a smart user-friendly interface that will implement big data and machine learning utilities; 2. Involving SMEs through the launching of specific calls and financial support. 16 partners from 7 different countries are involved in the GEN4OLIVE project: https://gen4olive.eu/project-consortium/
