Building strategic partnerships is fundamentally important for CIRAD: research in partnership is a source of synergies between science and cooperation with tropical and Mediterranean countries, open to a wide range of stakeholders.
CIRAD’s researchers are heavily involved in PhD and post-doc training. CIRAD has close links with doctoral schools at higher education establishments in tropical and Mediterranean countries and in France. Training through research lies at the heart of our remit.
