CIRAD is organizing an exceptional afternoon of celebrations on 25 June 2024, to mark its 40 years of impact in partnership in the fields of agriculture, environment and health.
The event, which is by invitation only, is primarily intended for our institutional partners in Montpellier, but some of our partners from the global South are also due to attend. Representatives from our line ministries and main donors, along with CIRAD employees, will also be present.
