Facilitation of Research Conferences and Workshops Sample Clauses

Facilitation of Research Conferences and Workshops. ‌ Dissemination of research results and collaboration between researchers, extension professionals, and policy makers from MAIL and universities is important in demonstrating the value of agricultural research. As with this program year, GRAIN is again supporting ARIA and other partners in the planning of an Annual ARIA National Wheat Research Conference in PY3. While ARIA has hosted this conference for the past two years, GRAIN technical teams are working alongside ARIA leadership to evolve the conference format and improve its effectiveness, including the addition of professional development sessions, a call-for-abstracts for invitation to present oral presentations or posters, and working group-styled breakouts to bring various stakeholders together to tackle key issues. Unlike previous years, XXXXX is proposing this conference be open to any qualified presenter from government, academia, international research centers, and even the private sector, to enable broader exchange of ideas. During a GRAIN visit to Herat on 30 April, XXXXX’s Deputy Chief of Party, Communications Manager, and Western Region Manager met with the Chancellor of Herat University, who invited ARIA and GRAIN to facilitate the next National Wheat Research Conference at Herat University. Agreeing this was an opportunity to evolve and improve the annual conference, and send a positive message that ARIA welcomed regional inclusion, in the following days GRAIN met the ARIA Director General (DG) and provided a briefing. Together with GRAIN, the DG consulted MAIL’s Deputy Minister Xxxxxxx on 7 May to further discuss the concept. That meeting concluded with shared agreement to further explore the Herat University option, noting if successful, it could be the catalyst for similar national conferences to be held in the provinces, rather than traditionally staged in Kabul.

Facilitation of Research Conferences and Workshops. Ongoing discussions with ARIA leadership has determined the National Wheat Conference should occur in the second half of the program year. This is principally due to a demanding annual calendar set by ARIA, involving events like the Annual Review Meeting of Agricultural Experimental Results, and the Wheat and Barley Conference, as well as planned trainings that require attendance of delegates also wishing to participate at the GRAIN conference. Staging a national conference later this year optimizes opportunities to present a greater range of validated wheat trial results, as a major agenda feature is to comprehensively deliberate wheat research findings. A later date also makes sense because the DMS will have achieved a great awareness saturation among ARIA researchers, with discussion anticipated to be more incisive, and based on upcoming DMS implementation training plans. Staging the national conference towards the back end of this year will also coincide more closely with the conclusion of GRAIN’s inaugural mentorship and internship programs. Many of these participants are undergraduate students, who with increased agricultural awareness gathered through the year, will benefit more because they better comprehend conference agenda topics.

Facilitation of Research Conferences and Workshops. ‌ Afghan Researchers Join Scientists from 20 Countries at International Conference Agriculture, the biggest driver of the Afghan economy, presents major opportunities for job creation, poverty reduction, and economic growth (CDCS, p.18). Through investment in programs to strengthen the country’s agricultural and research innovation systems, USAID and its Government of Afghanistan (GoA) partners aim to improve rural livelihoods as farmers adopt technologies to improve agricultural production and respond to real challenges facing the agriculture sector. As one such effort on 6-8 November, 11 researchers from Afghanistan joined 600 presenters from 20 countries at HAU’s Golden Jubilee International Conference on ‘New Millennia Agriculture—Novel Trends and Futures Scenarios’ in Hisar, India. These researchers were supported financially and technically through a collaborative effort between GRAIN and CAAI.

Facilitation of Research Conferences and Workshops. ‌ The revised GRAIN Program Year Three (FY20) Work Plan and revised GRAIN management approach eliminated the possibility of GRAIN leadership for an annual wheat research conference and increased GRAIN focus on the support ARIA needs to improve Afghanistan’s position as an international scientific source of wheat research. To achieve the intended result, GRAIN facilitated scientific communications training for ARIA researchers (see activity 2.A.2 for further details). As COVID-19 travel restrictions become relaxed later in PY3, GRAIN will continue to seek opportunities for Afghan researchers to present their research and engage with researchers through participation in international conferences.
