The 17th Triennial Conference of the European Association for Potato Research (EAPR) was organized by the Romanian National Institute of Research and Development for Potato and Sugar Beet in Brasov, Romania, under the leadership of its director Dr Sorin Chiru. The theme of the conference was: “Potato in a Changing World”. The programme included four workshops and one of these workshops was on the EU Framework 6 Integrated Project BIOEXPLOIT. The EU Framework 6 Integrated Project BIOEXPLOIT started in 2005. Participants are from 45 (both public and private) laboratories. The basic objective of BIOEXPLOIT is to explore and exploit the natural biodiversity in the plant kingdom in order to advance the production of food in a pesticide-free manner. The programme deals with four crops (wheat, barley, tomato and potato) and with the pathogens Phytophthora infestans, Septoria tritici, Blumeria graminis, Puccinia spp. and Fusarium spp. Together with EUCARPIA (the European Association for Research on Plant Breeding), the EAPR participates in BIOEXPLOIT by facilitating the dissemination of the results obtained in the project to the potato research community. The EAPR has done so in the past by publishing the special issue of Potato Research on the Canon of Potato Science (Struik et al. 2007 )a nd the special issue on Late Blight and Genetic Modification (Struik 2008). The workshop in Brasov and this third special issue are proof of the continuation of the efforts to disseminate the results of BIOEXPLOIT.
