	DigitAg
	#DigitAg, the Digital Agriculture Convergence Laboratory, is one of 10 French Convergence Institutes financed by the Investissements d'Avenir (Investment for the Future) program. #DigitAg conducts interdisciplinary research between agronomic sciences, engineering sciences (computer science, mathematics, electronics, physics, etc.) and social and management sciences (economics, sociology, business management), bringing together more than 700 experts in these fields to produce the scientific and pedagogic bases necessary to achieve the harmonious deployment of digital agriculture in France, Europe and the Global South. #DigitAg gathers a consortium of 16 public and private partners and 30 research units and is backed by € 9.9M of support from the French Government over 10 years (2016-2026). At the heart of our research activities are around 100 doctoral students who have been or will be recruited to boost knowledge creation in digital agriculture. The extension and translation of innovations resulting from their research will be fast-tracked via support from the company AxLR. #DigitAg also provides initial and ongoing training with the creation of a Graduate School, a multidisciplinary grouping of 20 Masters and Specialised Masters that trains students to be able to embark on careers in digital agriculture.
	Royal Academy of Engineering
	The Royal Academy of Engineering is a charity delivering public benefit, a UK National Academy providing progressive leadership, and a Fellowship bringing together an unrivalled community of leaders from every part of engineering and technology. The object of the Royal Academy of Engineering shall be the pursuit, encouragement and maintenance of excellence in the whole field of engineering to useful purpose in order to promote the advancement of the science, art and practice of engineering for the benefit of the public. The Royal Academy of Engineering is sponsoring this event through the HEP SSA (Higher Education Partnerships in sub-Saharan Africa) programme. The HEP SSA programme aims to ensure that the higher education system in sub-Saharan Africa produces engineers with the skills and knowledge required to meet the needs of industry and tackle local and global challenges. https://raeng.org.uk/hepssa
	International Union of Forest Research Organizations (IUFRO)
	IUFRO is a non-profit, non-governmental international network of forest scientists, which promotes global cooperation in forest-related research and enhances the understanding of the ecological, economic and social aspects of forests and trees. It unites more than 15,000 scientists in almost 700 Member Organizations in over 110 countries, and is a member of ICSU. Scientists cooperate in IUFRO on a voluntary basis. Its mission is to promote global cooperation in forest-related research and to enhance the understanding of the ecological, economic and social aspects of forests and trees; as well as to disseminate scientific knowledge to stakeholders and decision-makers and to contribute to forest policy and on-the-ground forest management. This event is being organized as part of the IUFRO research group 5.01.00 – Wood and fibre quality. https://www.iufro.org/
	DP Forêts et Biodiversité
	The dP Forests & Biodiversity (dP F&B) is a collaborative research platform established through a partnership between FOFIFA, the University of Antananarivo, and CIRAD. Its primary focus is conducting research on forest ecosystems, with a special emphasis on Madagascar's invaluable natural forests. These forests, considered a global treasure, face significant challenges due to human activities and the effects of climate change. It is imperative that their preservation remains a top priority, without negatively impacting the livelihoods of the communities dependent on their resources. https://www.forets-biodiv.org/en/
