To encourage permanent exchange among scientists and other CIAT personnel, a seminar is offered every week on various aspects of the work done at the Center. These seminars can help visiting researchers.

 

Those presenting the seminars belong to research projects or to different support units. Occasionally, guest lecturers from collaborating entities are invited.

 

Below you will find a list of the seminars. Consult related Web sites for additional information.
