	COST EPI-CATCH
	The ultimate objective of this COST action is to define, develop, generate and share new breaking knowledge and methodologies for the investigation of epigenetic mechanisms modulating plant adaptation to environmental stresses driven by climate change. So far, no international network has been created with the aim of standardizing methodology in plant epigenetics/epigenomics and better integrate these data with other “omic” approaches. EPI-CATCH creates a pan-European framework for networking in this research field. This COST Action uses a unique cross-disciplinary approach that brings together industrial developers, molecular geneticists, molecular biologists, crop breeders, agronomists, plant pathologists, and bioinformaticians. EPI-CATCH explores new frontiers on both innovative and translational research targeting the new challenges in plant epigenetics. Four main specific objectives are addressed by four working groups : 1) update of the most recent findings in crop epigenomics related to climate change, 2) development of new concepts and approaches in crop epigenetics and epigenomics that can be transferable in other living organisms, 3) establishment of common standardized pipelines, methods and workflows for generation, analysis and interpretation of epigenetic/epigenomic data, 4) an intense output dissemination and training for early-career scientists. The methodologies, concepts and ideas developed by EPI-CATCH will assist stakeholders to develop future innovative technologies to enhance environmental sustainability of agriculture in a rapid climate change scenario.

	Environmental Science Department - Bordeaux University
	The Environmental Sciences Research Department is a research structure of the University of Bordeaux. Its aim is to structure and lead research in Bordeaux that is in any way related to the environment. The department federates research units whose work aims to respond to the major environmental, scientific and societal challenges of tomorrow, from the genome to the ecosystem, from the paleoenvironment to the environment of tomorrow, from microbiology to agro-systems, from the aquatic world to vineyard plots!
	SENSE Graduate Program
	The SENSE Graduate Program provides training from Master's to PhD level. The aim of this multidisciplinary program is to train students and junior researchers in the issues surrounding the development, protection and management of eco- and agro-systems.
	INRAE - Plant Biology and Breeding (BAP)
	The BAP department's research focuses on plant sciences. It aims to produce fundamental and operational knowledge on the functioning of plants in interaction with their biotic and abiotic environment, integrating the different levels of organization of living organisms (from molecules to communities), in order to understand and optimize the functioning of agrosystems.
	INRAE - Plant Health Department (SPE)
	The Plant Health and Environment (SPE) department is one of INRAE’s 14 research departments. The SPE department aims to protect and protect crops while respecting the environment, from plants to landscapes.
	GPR - Bordeaux Plant Sciences
	Bordeaux Plant Sciences is one of 7 major research programs accredited by the University of Bordeaux. The plant counterpart to Bordeaux university research, it represents a unique consortium of 11 laboratories of excellence specializing in plant sciences.
