What Happened at the First Spanish Webinar? New Products to Evaluate Quality of Science in Spanish

On Wednesday, November 29th, the Independent Advisory and Evaluation Service (IAES) held its first webinar in Spanish, titled: Broadening CGIAR’s Inclusive Voice: The Independent Advisory and Evaluation Service speaks Spanish.

Dr Oscar Ortiz, Senior Director of crop-based systems of the CGIAR scientific research group on Resilient Agrifood Systems (RAFS), inaugurated the event where, in his opening remarks, mentioned that he had long been responsible for both the ex-ante and ex-post measurement of science quality at the International Potato Center (CIP), a duty he now undertakes in the CGIAR RAFS Action Area. In addition to being one of the main users of the new Framework himself, he also pointed out that the community of Deputy General Directors (DGA) has contributed significantly toward the Framework’s development, which lays the groundwork for how the quality of science is currently referred to at CGIAR.
