A French public research organization with an
international vocation
• CIRAD is placed under the authority of the Ministry of Higher Education,
Research and Innovation and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
• CIRAD is a targeted research organization with a mandate for scientific
cooperation in the field of agriculture with organizations in southern countries
• Its operations fit in with the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) adopted
by the UN and the Paris agreement on climate change (COP21) and are classed as public development aid
A staff of 1650 including 800 researchers
CIRAD key figures…
A budget of € 198M in 2017
Partnership in more than 100 countries 33 research units in 3 scientific departments
Every year : 400 phD students supervised, 800 partner researchers welcomed in France
Research and training platforms in partnership worldwide
CIRAD’s Researchers permanently based abroad : around 200
CIRAD’s Researchers permanently based in Thailand :
7 all posted in Kasetsart University in 2 dPs
Based on years of operational researches in tropics
Cirad facilitates and supports transitions towards more sustainable agriculture
• Shared governance
and visions
• Long term partnership
• Link between training,
capacity building and
research
• Multidisciplinary
approaches
More than 30 years of collaboration
Research and capacity building / DORAS center
7 researchers and almost 2 years equivalent in missions: one of the largest
CIRAD collaboration setting in the world within the same institution
+ several researchers from IRD (LUSES/HRPP Hevea, GREASE)
Four main areas
Natural Rubber Conservation agriculture
Energy and environment Health
Regional leadership and collaboration
National & ASEAN universities
Research institutions
Private sector
Continuous support from the French Embassy (mobility supports, events
support, …) and TICA
Joint projects funded by large agencies like EU, ANR and private sector
&
GREASE
Management of Emerging diseases in Southeast Asia7 core members (ASEAN,Cirad) + 20 Ass. Members + 7 collaborator centers
(OIE, FAO, IP…)
GREASE enables the development of a multi disciplinary
approach through research/training projects and scientific
networking
An interdisciplinary framework for understanding OH /
Ecohealth complex issues.
Strengthening the interactions and dialogue among
disciplines, sectors and key actors.
Contribution to improve risk management strategies
Development of tailored-made recommendations from
scientist to policy makers
Strengthen OH capacities of future health managers
through the Master InterRisk (ENVT, KU, Cirad)
