Virtual Seed Academy
Our aim is to be a platform for the seed system community of researchers and practicioners
.
Many different functions of seed systems require are different types of knowledge. These knowledges are typically dispersed. Exchange of experiences, views and questions are of paramount importance in a world were we cannot always reach out to our next door colleague.
Options for capacity development and research
We aim to support and bring together the opportunities and needs for capacity building in seed system work. We are in particular striving to hybridize research and practice to build better understanding of seed systems together.
So far, we organised three formal courses with collaborating partners.
Our partners are involved in a range of research and development initiatives.
