International Expert Consultation on Building a CIARD Framework for Data and Information Sharing

Over the last decade a series of international workshops and consultations have been organised by FAO, GFAR and the CGIAR to enhance the contribution to agriculture science by information and communication and associated technologies.

These global efforts also led to the launching in 2008 of an international multi-stakeholder initiative on Coherence in Information for Agricultural Research for Development (CIARD).

In 2011, the CIARD partners are organizing a series of International Consultations (through electronic and face to face events) to build a framework for action in making outputs of agricultural research truly accessible through coherent management, sharing and exchange of knowledge, information, and data.

Join the e-Consultation from 4 to 15 April 2011

The face to face meeting will be held in Beijing, China from 20-23 June, 2011
