A French public research organization with an international vocation • CIRAD is placed under the authority of the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs • CIRAD is a targeted research organization with a mandate for scientific cooperation in the field of agriculture with organizations in southern countries • Its operations fit in with the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) adopted by the UN and the Paris agreement on climate change (COP21) and are classed as public development aid CIRAD key figures… A budget of € 198 M in 2017 A staff of 1650 including 800 researchers Partnership in more than 100 countries 33 research units in 3 scientific departments Every year : 400 phD students supervised, 800 partner researchers welcomed in France

Based on years of operational researches in tropics Cirad facilitates and supports transitions towards more sustainable agriculture Research and training platforms in partnership worldwide • Shared governance and visions • Long term partnership • Link between training, capacity building and research • Multidisciplinary approaches CIRAD’s Researchers permanently based abroad : around 200 CIRAD’s Researchers permanently based in Thailand : 7 all posted in Kasetsart University in 2 dPs

&  More than 30 years of collaboration  Research and capacity building / DORAS center  7 researchers and almost 2 years equivalent in missions: one of the largest CIRAD collaboration setting in the world within the same institution  + several researchers from IRD (LUSES/HRPP Hevea, GREASE)  Four main areas   Conservation agriculture Natural Rubber   Health Energy and environment  Regional leadership and collaboration  National & ASEAN universities  Research institutions  Private sector  Continuous support from the French Embassy (mobility supports, events support, … ) and TICA  Joint projects funded by large agencies like EU, ANR and private sector

GREASE Management of Emerging diseases in Southeast Asia 7 core members ( ASEAN ,Cirad) + 20 Ass. Members + 7 collaborator centers (OIE, FAO, IP…) GREASE enables the development of a multi disciplinary approach through research/training projects and scientific networking An interdisciplinary framework for understanding OH / Ecohealth complex issues.
