Thematic session

Structure and process

• 1) Six groups of randomly chosen members formed and seated at separate tables in same room (Plenary)
• 2) Seven possible topics based on GCP Themes + communications (A Okono) and GCP Transition (J-M Ribaut)
• 3) Each topic session will last 30 minutes
• 4) Groups will remain seated at designated table; GCP moderators will rotate at timed periods
• 5) Since there are six groups but seven topics, each group will miss one topic at random
• Theme 1: Genomics - RK Varshney
• Theme 2: Breeding - X Delannay
• Theme 3: Crop information -G McLaren
• Theme 4: Capacity building - NN Diop
• Theme 5: Product management - L Butler
• Communications - A Okono
• GCP Transition Strategy - J-M Ribaut
