A brief History

This research network and its activities were initiated by Cirad at the end of 2009. The network has then been developed through Projects planning and implementation, Trainings organisation and Meetings from 2010 on.

The partnership then evolved towards a stage of formalization: signature of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in May 2012 and the organization of annual Steering and Scientific Committees involving members of the network (core members, associated partners and observers).
