Director General Prof. Dr Adel El-Beltagy (right) presents a souvenir plate
to Rector Prof. Xavier Chapuisat and Vice-Rector Prof. Anita Bersellini (left),
from the University of Paris, who visited ICARDA headquarters on 6 March. The
Director General took the opportunity to brief the visitors on the Center's
mission to enhance the economic well-being of the rural poor in the world's
dry areas. He acknowledged the Center's long and fruitful relationship with
France, which has included collaboration with the Institut National de la Recherche
Agronomique, among other institutes. The three had a brief brainstorming session
on possible future "multidisciplinary collaboration," likely in Central
Asia. Other efforts might focus on biotechnology. The visitors were also given
a tour of ICARDA laboratories and the farm. |
