Agri-Science Mapping Directory Launch

Science Mapping directory

The UK Agri-Food Science Directory 2008/09 was officially launched by the UK Government Chief Scientific Adviser, Professor John Beddington on 4 November 2008 at the Inner Temple, London. The event, which was chaired by The Earl of Selborne, was attended by nearly 150 people, including ministers, research scientists, senior government and overseas embassy officials.

The Directory has been jointly produced by the International Agri-Technology Centre (IATC) and the UK Collaborative on Development Sciences (UKCDS), in an initiative to raise the understanding and profile of the UK’s considerable national and international agri-food science expertise.
