genetics. The scientific coordination serves as a central hub

connecting research, management, and early-career devel-

opment. It networks researchers, projects, and locations

and simultaneously shapes the integrated Graduate School

GEcoGen as an attractive training programme in the field of

Plant Ecological Genetics.
