Page 2: More than 30 years of collaboration

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

Page 3: More than 30 years of collaboration

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)
