Résumé : A joint INRA-CIRAD delegation led by the INRA President Prof. Bertrand Hervieu carried out in April 2003 a mission in India with the objective of identifying themes and modalities of strengthening the scientific co-operation. For INRA, the delegation included the following Scientific Directions : Human nutrition and food safety, Animal and animal products, Environment and natural and cultivated ecosystems, the Mission of International Relations and several departments' representatives Environment and agronomy, Economy and rural sociology, Nutrition, food and food safety, Hydrobiology and wild fauna. Mr. Patrick Y. Durand, from the Directorate for International and European Relations, represented the CIRAD The delegation was warmly welcomed with the presence, at the seminar, of the Indian Minister of Agriculture, who opened the working session. This seminar was seen as a clear sign of the willingness of strengthening the partnership between France (Europe) and India for agronomic research. The agronomic research sensu lato is indeed at the crossing point of two Indian priorities: the rural and agricultural development associated with poverty alleviation, and the high-level scientific research., The seminar programme included four working groups with the objective of identifying and deciding research areas for joint collaboration. Four main themes of common interest were identified plant and animal genomics, environment, nutrition and food safety, economics and social sciences. Several sub-themes were also defined, as well as respective resource-persons within each Institute, for further development through follow-up talks among the scientists after this seminar. Some funding sources were also mentioned , either for supporting common research projects (CEFIPRA-IFCPAR UE, etc.) or personnel exchange and training (Embassies ; Marie-Curie Grants ; etc.). The seminar was concluded by the signature of a tripartite agreement of cooperation between ICAR, CIRAD and INRA.
