ABSTRACT. - SMARTER (SMAll RuminanT breeding for Efficiency and Resilience) is an H2020 EU multi-actor project, whose global objective is to develop novel and collaborative strategies to improve resilience and efficiency of the sheep and goat sectors at the animal, population/breed and system/farm levels. A dedicated work package (WP6) aims to contribute to accelerated genetic progress for resilience and efficiency (R&E) through international harmonisation and cooperation in order to deploy genomic evaluations across countries. The goal of this paper is to present the different tasks that are being undertaken to successfully meet the WP6 goals.
