In order to meet the different needs regarding the depth of information and frequency of peer discussion, we maintain four platform respectively communication channels. First, there is our quarterly newsletter. We publish it jointly with the Focal Point for Agriculture and Food Security. The newsletter is targeted at a broad audience that wants to regularly updated about our work. Second, we maintain three thematic online discussion groups (so called DGroups). If you’re an active practitioner or expert, we encourage you to join at least one group. As a member you can reach out to the whole thematic network - to get help on a specific issue or to launch a discussion. Third, both cluster units have their sharewebs (see below). And finally, both networks (e+i and eps) regularly meet at Face-to-Face events.

In order to enjoy the benefits of the different platform, you have to be individually subscribed. The best way to do so, is to send an email to our operations desk (contact information on the right panel of our starting page) and let us now, to which channels you want access.
