Enhancing Agroecosystem Resilience through Crop Diversity and Complementarity | HORIZON-CL6-2027-01-BIODIV-09

Deputy Director for Scientific Work at Ukrainian Institute for Plant Variety Examination

Kyiv, Ukraine

About

The Ukrainian Institute for Plant Variety Examination (UIPVE) is a Ukrainian scientific institution specializing in plant variety evaluation, phenotypic and molecular characterization, and field research. Our nationwide network of experimental testing locations across diverse soil and climatic conditions provides opportunities for comparative field trials, assessment of genotype performance, and evaluation of varietal adaptability and stability.

We are interested in contributing to collaborative research on innovative breeding approaches for organic intercropping, particularly the identification and evaluation of plant traits, genotype interactions, and crop combinations that improve productivity, resource-use efficiency, and resilience in diversified cropping systems. We can support the development and validation of new selection methodologies by providing experimental data and scientific expertise in variety assessment.

Within the consortium, we are open to discussing:

·       Multi-location field trials to evaluate promising genotypes and crop combinations under contrasting environmental conditions.

·       Phenotypic assessment of agronomic traits, productivity, adaptability, and stability in intercropping systems.

·       Analysis of genotype-by-environment interactions and varietal performance.

·       Molecular characterization of plant genetic material, where relevant to project objectives.

·       Development and validation of standardized testing protocols and selection criteria for organic intercropping.

Looking for Partners:

·       Research institutions and universities working on crop improvement, plant genetics, and sustainable agriculture.

·       Plant breeding organizations and specialists in organic and diversified cropping systems.

·       Research groups specializing in plant interactions, crop physiology, and agroecology.

·       Horizon Europe consortia and coordinators preparing proposals under HORIZON-CL6-2027-01-BIODIV-09.
