24-25 May 2016, Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania - Workshop on Access to Global Online Research in Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, at Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology.  

In conjunction with several partners, FAO is organizing a series of training workshops across Asia and Africa focused on access to research in agriculture and fisheries. In April, workshops were held in Namibia and Myanmar. Now a similar workshop is set to take place at Tanzania’s Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH) 24-25 May 2016. Tailored to researchers, the workshops are aimed at drawing attention to the scope of free online agricultural information available on Access to Global Online Research in Agriculture (AGORA) and AGRIS (International System for Agricultural Science and Technology) and in effectively using these resources.  Alongside this core focus, the workshops raise awareness of key trends in scientific publishing in agriculture, fisheries and forestry, with a look at the further range of resources available to researchers in agricultural research.
