Via a close cooperation between Dutch and Tunisian research organizations and leveraging the possibilities provided by the Dutch Orange Knowledge Fund, a tailor-made training course on management and use of genetic resources for climate smart crop improvement took place in Tunisia from April 15-26 2024. The course consisted of two modules: one focused on Plant Genetic Resources Management and the other on Sequencing and Bioinformatics. The module on PGR management covered key topics including food security and Biodiversity, PGR management, and PGR policies, whereas the module on Sequencing and Bioinformatics provided up to date information on DNA sequencing methods, genome assembly, genotyping, diversity assessment and genome-wide association studies. The course was structured with a combination of lectures and practical assignments. Additionally, two full-day field visits were integrated into the program, providing participants with valuable information and practical knowledge in on farm management techniques. In total, the course was attended by 26 participants.
