Video impression of CGIAR Public-Private Sector event

The Consortium of International Agricultural Research Centers (CGIAR Consortium) is developing new research programs for the period 2017-2022 and seeks to work more closely with the private sector in its new strategy. CGIAR has already good examples of cooperation and success, but there is more potential. Together with Dutch co-organizers, a CGIAR Public-Private Sector event was held on Monday September 21, 2015.

Eighty international and Dutch participants, including private sector representatives, shared best practices on the collaboration between public and private sector in research partnerships, discussed the role and position of partners, and explored the opportunities in future research programs.

At the event an MoU was signed by the CGIAR and the Netherlands Ministries of Foreign and Economic Affairs to encourage both the CGIAR and knowledge partners within the Dutch Diamond to work together in strategic partnerships, with the aim to significantly contribute to the sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Please find below a video impression of this high-level meeting.

The presentations (videos and/or PowerPoint slides) including a summary report of the event will be made available soon on this website as well.
