22 NL-CGIAR Senior Experts receive funding to improve global food security
With the NL-CGIAR Senior Expert Programme II (SEPII), senior researchers affiliated with Dutch research institutions will have the opportunity to contribute to research by CGIAR, the world's largest research partnership for a food secure future. They will collaborate with international research initiatives working on issues such as strengthening food security in countries with long-term food crises and analysing forgotten crops.
The Senior Expert Programme II will reimburse part of the Senior Experts' staff costs. With the SEPII programme, CGIAR can use Dutch knowledge and expertise and, vice versa, Dutch knowledge institutions can use expertise, research facilities and CGIAR's networks. The programme is part of the partnership between the Dutch government and CGIAR.
Below you can read more about the Senior Expert appointments, the Senior Experts and what the planned contribution to CGIAR entails.
