Why take part
Science is opening new ways to improve how we grow food, manage land and water, adapt to a changing climate and improve nutrition — but turning research into impact takes partnership.
Science and Partnership Week brings scientists, policymakers, farmers, funders and partners together to examine the evidence, challenge assumptions and shape what comes next. What is working? What needs to change? And where can we achieve more together?
Each area of our work, including crop breeding, water management, climate, nutrition, and policy, has dedicated time in the program. Scientists, policymakers, farmers and funders will share updates, impacts and questions: what is working and what needs to change?
During the week, you can:
- Discover what CGIAR’s portfolio has delivered so far, and what it aims to deliver by 2030 – and beyond.
- Hear from world leaders and experts on land, food, and water systems during plenaries and interactive sessions
- Engage in sessions led by our partners and make new connections
- Be present at the cutting edge of innovation progress and policy discussions
Session themes and the program to be published soon. Sign up for updates to stay informed about high-level speakers and relevant sessions.
