Webinar

This free series of training sessions is designed to help researchers in CABI member countries to gain the confidence and skills to communicate their findings to policymakers and the public. The training is part of CABI’s efforts to support member countries to share agricultural and environmental knowledge that can empower people and help protect the planet. Training is one of the ways CABI provides benefits to member countries.

Researchers who participate in this training and use the skills to communicate their findings will be in a better position to influence policy, contribute to the development of their communities, enhance their public visibility, increase citations of their publications by other researchers and enhance their likelihood of being found by potential partners. Their countries and communities will benefit from increased opportunities to make evidence-based policies and decisions.
