Detailed Agenda (with Poster Grid)
It's time to prepare for the 2025 IFPRI annual general meeting! This page is your source of all of the information you'll need to prepare for the meeting. I will update it frequently as I receive new information from our academic colleagues.
The agenda is essentially unchanged from last year. The first day of the meeting is devoted to reviews, plenary talks, and a final review of propsals that we've received for new projects. Days two and three are dedicated to reviewing ongoing projects in the morning and developing new topics for projects, reviews, and workshops in the afternoon. On day four, we finish our review of the technical program and do a report-out on the new topics in the ideation sessions. We've also reserved time in the afternoon to complete brief writing, which hopefully will make it easier to submit them prior to the banquet. The final day of the meeting is reserved for selecting new projects, reviews, and briefs and ends with the final business meeting.
We will "virtualize" as much of the agenda as practical to allow colleagues who are not able to travel to Toronto to participate in the meeting. The detailed agenda lists which sessions will be accessible via Zoom.
Revised project and renewal proposals are attached at the bottom of this page.
Our research associates will provide a video presentation (limited to 20 minutes), their presentation slides, and a written abstract. Links to these materials will be added to this page as I receive them. Updated renewal and new project proposals have been added as attachments to this page, along with a "compendium" file that contains all of the briefs and proposals in a single file. I hope to collect everything by May 16 to give us all one month to prepare for the meeting. Please check back periodically to see what's been added.
The Briefing Notes describe in more detail how the AGM is organized and summarizes the current state of the technical program. Updated proposals for the project briefs we developed at the AGM in 2024 are attached below. For your convenience, I will create a compendium file that contains all of the proposals and the briefing paper so you can download everything in a single document.
Research and review briefs that we write at the meeting will be uploaded to the 2024 Annual General Meeting Technical Program Planning Page. Please use the Brief template and upload completed briefs as PDFs to this Google Drive or email them to me (ifpri.vp@gmail.com) before the banquet on Tuesday evening.
I hope you find this organization clear and convenient. Please let me or Willie Hendrickson know if you have any issues downloading these files.
