BOT-ERA Reinforcing cooperation between the Royal Botanic Garden of Jordan and ERA

Coordinator: ROYAL BOTANIC GARDEN CO LLC (JO)

Jordan is rich in flora with over 2500 species including 363 species of vascular plants. It is situated at the Southern edge of the Fertile Crescent and is a hotspot for crop, crop wild relative and medicinal plant diversity of vital global importance.

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €498k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 3 years from 2012-02-01 to 2015-01-31.
