We are very pleased to announce that the Global Seed Conservation (GSC) Grants are now open for application.

The GSC Grants aim to support the long-term storage of seeds and are made possible through a cooperative agreement between the Botanic Gardens Conservation International (BGCI) and the Korea Arboreta and Gardens Institute (KoAGI).

The main purpose of the grants is to allow botanic gardens/arboreta to collect new collections of threatened species, increase seed banking capacity and safeguard these collections by duplicating seeds in the Baekdudaegan Global Seed Vault (BGSV).

The Grants are open to all botanical gardens, arboreta and seed banks around the world.
