Dear all,

I am pleased to invite you to the IGAD pre-conference meeting that will be held on March 19-20, 2018 in Berlin, Germany. The event will take place before the 11th RDA Plenary Meeting, March 21-23, 2018.

The first day of the next IGAD pre-meeting on March 19 will be dedicated to the theme “the FAIR principles to all elements of the research process in agricultural sciences and related disciplines” together with the reporting of the WGs related to IGAD about activities undertaken during the last six months. You can be an active part of the meeting by attending and participating, but also by delivering a short presentation (10’) in relation to the FAIR principles in the agricultural domain and their implementation in your organization and/or network(s). If you are interested, please send the title and a short abstract before the 15th of January 2018.

March 20 will be dedicated to the working groups already associated to IGAD and to those under evaluation, such as “capacity development”. The following are the working groups:

  1. Wheat Data Interoperability Working Group
  2. Rice Data Interoperability Working Group
  3. Agrisemantics Working Group
  4. On-Farm Data Sharing Working Group
  5. Metrics and Indicators in Agricultural Sciences BoF
  6. Capacity Development

Please let us know before the 15th of January 2018 which of the working groups above you would like to join at AIMS@fao.org

Your contribution and involvement in this pre-meeting are welcome!

We are looking forward to meeting you in Berlin,

Imma Subirats, for the Co-chairs of the Interest Group on Agriculture Data (IGAD)

    Dear all,

    Thanks to those of you that have sent (and are still sending) proposals for presentations for the next meeting IGAD/RDA in Berlin. Since some of you have asked for an extension, we have decided to leave the call for proposals open until Friday. Please send your proposals to AIMS@fao.org.

    To those that have not confirmed attendance yet, please let us know as well during this week (registration is for free but it is mandatory!). We have to finalize all the logistics and we need to have an indicative number of possible attendants by the end of this week. Again please confirm at AIMS@fao.org.

    If you have any doubts or questions please write to me at imma.subirats@fao.org

    We are looking forward to meeting you in Berlin,

    Imma Subirats, for the Co-chairs of the Interest Group on Agriculture Data (IGAD)
