Evening Workshop 1

Funding of a barley research: further strategic directions (moderator Alan Schulman): Summary on the funding picture going forward beyond the Horizon 2020 and some strategic directions defined by European Plant Science Organisation (EPSO: https://epsoweb.org/);

Barley Community Initiative (moderator Robbie Waugh): introduce and discuss the Barley Community Initiative (BCI: https://wheat.pw.usda.gov/GG3/content/initiative-re-galvanise-international-barley-research-community) and discuss how our community could actively develop from where we are now. A number of us could certainly give overviews of what’s been done so far, stimulate discussion and seek commitment from a ‘broader church’ than currently subscribe.
