Some principles and issues in implementing agricultural research networks por Kirkby, Roger A.

“…Issues briefly discussed are (1) the need for more precise definition of intended participation for each network activity; (2) less overburdening of national research capacity; (3) increased flexibility in form and extent of participation to close the gap between larger, stronger National Agricultural Research Systems (NARS) and smaller, less developed ones; (4) increased participation in decision-making within the network; and (5) cooperation between networks since scientists or national programs may belong to more than one network. …”
