November 6-10, 2004
Vaals, The Netherlands

The third biennial grantee conference was held November 6-10 in Vaals, The Netherlands. The meeting focused on making the connection between research and impacts on food security. In addition to formal presentations and research updates from the CCRP grantees, three related workshop sessions allowed the grantees to map out their project strategies, elaborate their plans for monitoring and evaluation, and consider issues relating to the concept of "Community of Practice."

The conference's 120 participants also enjoyed a wine and beer tasting and a trip to Aachen for a short tour and visits to local restaurants.

In formal presentations, guest speakers provided insights on the connection between research and development. The keynote address, given by Prof. Jules Pretty (The University of Essex, U.K.), was well received as one of the highlights of the conference. Plenary session talks included guest speakers Dindo Campilan (UPWARD Network, International Potato Center-SE Asia), Saa Dittoh (Univ. for Development Studies, Ghana), Andy Hall (UN University, INTECH, Netherlands), Victoria Henson-Apollonio (IPGRI, Italy), Neeran Rajbandhari (CIMMYT-Nepal), and Steve Sherwood (World Neighbors-Andes), Rachel Bezner Kerr (Cornell University) and Kristin Batson (The McKnight Foundation).

The poster room featured over 100 posters and was also deemed a great success. We will make more time for posters at the next conference!
