This Theme supports the development of infrastructure to network and publish diverse databases. It also supports the development of tools and standards for the integration and analysis of data from different sources and disciplines, particularly for molecular breeding in conjunction with GCP’s Integrated Breeding Platform (IBP).

Emphasis is on user support, both for the IBP and for the Research Initiatives. Theme 3 projects are organised into four objectives covering i) user support; ii) data curation and quality; iii) methodology development; and, iv) infrastructure.

GCP requires that all data arising from GCP-funded projects be publicly accessible.
