There will also be posters sessions at which participants will be able to set out their contributions to the theme of the week. 



There will be a special Burkina Faso Day for raising awareness of agricultural research outputs from the host country, through exhibits or field visits. This will be held in the middle of the week between the pre-plenary and plenary meetings.
