Europe

CIRAD participates in programmes and projects funded by the European Union, and collaborates with several European research networks. It works to defend agricultural research for development within the European area, and is thus a major player in the dialogue between North and South.

CIRAD is committed to the construction of the European Research Area, and works to ensure that its partners in developing countries have access to EU programmes and to top-level research in Europe.

It is also a major player in the dialogue between developing countries and Europe, and is pushing for the construction of a coordinated agricultural research for development network.

CIRAD is a member of Agrinatura , a European network that associates a range of expertise and fosters synergies between the main European players working on research projects of regional interest.
It is involved in the European Research Area Agricultural Research for Development (ARD) network, which funds projects on food safety, capacity building in the South, food supplies and energy.
