GENESYS Portal User Survey

GENESYS is an initiative of Bioversity International in partnership with the Secretariat of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture and the Global Crop Diversity Trust.

The primary motive for developing GENESYS was to facilitate access to and use of PGRFA through the delivery of associated information. The purpose of this survey is to identify how well this objective has been achieved and to also identify the interest and functionality that both plant breeders and other portal users would like to see incorporated as GENESYS continues to evolve.

Please assist us to make GENESYS more relevant for your work by taking the time to visit the GENESYS portal (click here) and familiarize yourself with its content and functionality before completing this short survey. There are some guidelines on how GENESYS works available from the Help tab on the right side of the home page.

Your participation in this survey is highly appreciated.
