The ILRI APM will happen in Addis Ababa 15-17 May 2013.
The afternoon of day 1 – Wednesday 15 May – is devoted to an ‘‘ILRI sharefair and marketplace’. We see this as a massively interactive space with a mix of stands, conversations, and happenings designed to expose all participants to the rest of ILRI. It is an opportunity for each part of ILRI to show what it is doing, to explain its work and value.
It covers the whole of ILRI, research, operations, support – everything that makes ILRI fit for purpose and able to deliver great science, influence and capacity development!
The format comprises:
- A series of program or science related posters; displayed and discussed in a dedicated session. You can download the poster template from the APM wiki. We need the final posters for printing to reach a.habtamu@cgiar.org in Addis Ababa by 8 May at latest. You can also obtain help in Nairobi from m.njiru@cgiar.org or any of the communication specialists (Jane, Tezira, Evelyn, Albert, Ethel, Fanos …). There will be awards for different categories of posters.
- A set of display stands and exhibition spaces where the work of a team/unit/program/project/region/CRP … whatever can be presented and shared. Beyond organizational ‘units’ (including of course the regional offices) we are interested to hear about any wider initiative that deserves attention, such as: large project (LIVES, EADD, ELKS … ) or important issues (gender, research compliance, genebank 30) that deserve special focus.
- Several short ‘learning slots’ for someone to explain or teach something that staff should know. Perhaps a presentation or a small discussion group. Examples could be – an aspect of capacity development, an introduction to research compliance, a critical ICT tip or tool, the new OCS, key lessons from a big project, etc…
The KMIS and CapDev teams in Addis will make sure all your local logistical, communication and pedagogical needs are supported!
