As foreseen -see former blog post-, the IJBB (Institut i Jardí Botànic de Barcelona / Botanic Gardens and Institute of Barcelona) held the extraordinary meeting of Semclimed, focused in two points: 1) the future of the network established as a result of the projects GENMEDOC and SEMCLIMED, and 2) the possibilities to ask for new projects. All the attendants like to aknowledge the excellent organisation and facilities provided by the IJBB, and particularly by Dr. Josep M. Montserrat and his enthusiastic team.
Attendants from the CIEF, IJBB, CBB (Cagliari), CBNP (Porquerolles), JBS (Sóller) and ISR (Rabat, Morocco) joined the meeting and discussed for two days (13th and 14th December 2007) on the above indicated topics, yielding some preliminary conclusions that will be transmetted to the remainder partners during the next days. They will be asked on the possibility to call for a Interreg IV-MED focused on the work of seedbanks, and/or Interreg IVC project to reinforce the network during the next weeks. To see the possibilities of both ways, the partners are invited to visit and review the groundlines of both programmes at:
