GENERAL OVERVIEW

In the frame of SKiM project, Strengthening Knowledge Management for greater development effectiveness in the Near East, North Africa, Central Asia and Europe, CIHEAM-Bari, in collaboration with ICARDA will organize a one-week training.

This virtual training week is a starting point for sharing, using and managing the knowledge, information and experiences created by the partners involved in the project following specific models. In each institution, and in order to continue providing quality service, sharing knowledge and expertise should be occurring continuously among researchers, collaborators and experts.

Another important aspect is to make the results of research and innovations known outside the institutions, especially to the companies in order to facilitate their application and to strengthen collaborations between research entities and enterprises. To this end, it is important to share knowledge with new generations to stimulate the development of startups and spinoffs.

How to get ready:

1.  Please register your participation here for SKiM sessions and here for FAO sessions. You will automatically receive the Zoom links to attend the events and the Coffee/Lunch virtual breaks.

Registered participants/institutions will be followed up in their preparation, plus receive advanced communication on how to capitalize existing knowledge, institutional achievements and lessons learned, drafting a "Solution" according to the IFAD Rural Solutions experts best practices.
