2016 CGIAR-CSI & Partners Meeting
SPURRING INNOVATION IN GEOSPATIAL CONTRIBUTIONS TO AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT
This two-and-a-half day meeting provides a venue and showcase for the CGIAR-CSI and partners not only to share recent progress in geospatial technologies, methods, tools and learning, but also for this community to articulate a common vision of and commitment to its greater role in expanding the quantity and quality of public-good geospatial research products and services.

Participants from the CGIAR’s international centers and cross-center programs will present their key research efforts and lessons around geospatial dimensions of smallholder agricultural development, as well as the data, tools, products and services their work is generating or contributing to. Presentations will follow the Ignite format with strict timings (5 slides, 7 minutes presentation + 3 minutes Q&A).

In this session, three important issues will be discussed in a panel-discussion format. All selected issues will have relevance to both the CGIAR and the broader geospatial community. Discussion leaders will provide background and invite discussants with knowledge and experience to challenge the community.

During the morning session of the final day, meeting participants will have a chance to meet directly with external partners to see the demonstration of their solutions/services, get trained in new products and tools. This session will also provide opportunities for further exploration of specific partnership or collaboration opportunities amongst convening participants.

In this final session, we will summarize and reflect on the overall dialogues and findings from the 2.5-day program and invite announcements of any initiatives, action roadmaps, or specific follow-up plans, particularly as they relate to the evolution of geospatial dimensions of the CGIAR Open Access/Open Data/Big Data Platform proposal, and specific plans with respect to BMGF focus geographies where geospatial activities of convening participants might be better coordinated and leveraged.
