ENDURE, the European
Network for the Durable Exploitation of Crop Protection
Strategies, is a Network of Excellence (NoE) with two key
objectives: restructuring European research and development for
the implementation of integrated pest management (IPM)
strategies for agriculture across the European Union, and
establishing ENDURE as a world leader in the development and
implementation of sustainable pest control strategies through:
• Building a lasting crop protection research community
• Providing end-users with a broader range of short-term
solutions
• Developing a holistic approach to sustainable pest management
• Taking stock of and informing plant protection policy changes.
Eighteen organisations in 10 European countries are committed to
ENDURE for four years (2007-2010), with financial support from
the European Union’s Sixth Framework Programme, priority 5: Food
Quality and Safety. |
