The National Genbank in IPGR Sadovo is a nominated by European Cooperative Program for Plant Genetic Resources (ECPGR) http://www.ecpgr.cgiar.org/ as a responsible center for Bulgaria. Data on the samples that are maintained in the National ex situ collection are included in the European electronic catalog EURISCO (http://eurisco.ipk-gatersleben.de/), according to a signed agreement in 2013. Passport information is exported annually mechanically according to a descriptor, approved by ECPGR.

The Bulgarian Collection (NI PGRBGR) in EURISCO covers passport data for 63 713 samples, including BGR001/Institute of Plant Genetic Resources Sadovo – 59 292, BGR029/Dobrujda Agricultural Institute, General Toshevo – 3 857 and BGR005/Institute of Roses, Essential and Medical Cultures, Kazanlak – 564. From the total number with Bulgarian origin are 13 269 samples of 238 cultural species: 33 – cereal, 34 – grain legumes, 41 – technical, 29 – vegetables, 43 – fodder, 19 – medical and aromatic plants, 39 – permanent.

In 2009 IPGR Sadovo signed a Memorandum of Understanding for establishing of European Genebank Integrated System (AEGIS). Under the agreement, IPGR Sadovo is involved in building a „virtual“ European Genebank, covering a European collection of „unique local germplasm“ (http://aegis.cgiar.org).
