GEVES’s research activities have three main areas of focus: performance and value of new plant varieties, variety description, and seed quality.

To carry out its research projects, GEVES uses equipment and tools to evaluate variety behaviour and seed quality.

GEVES publishes the results of its research activities in peer-reviewed scientific journals and technical journals. It also communicates regularly at international conferences on varieties and seeds.

Each year, the Technical Committee for Plant Breeding (CTPS), together with the Ministry of Agriculture, launches a CASDAR call for projects for “Seeds and Plant Breeding”.

The CTPS Scientific Committee, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, regularly organises restitution seminars for the projects selected by the CASDAR Call for Projects.
