Invitation programs at JIRCAS

Abstract

In keeping with its role as an international research center. JIRCAS has implemented several invitation programs for foreign researchers and administrators at counterpart organizations. These programs facilitate the exchange of information and opinions on agriculture, forestry, and fisheries research. At the same time, their implementation and administration serve as an opportunity to strengthen research ties among scientists and administrators in participating countries, mostly in developing regions. Current programs are described in detail below. (Note: In FY 2019, some of the invitation programs scheduled for March 2020 were suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.)
