- Design and Analysis of Multi-Environment Trials: Conventional and QTL-based Methods (12-23 Septmeber 2005, IAMZ Zaragoza, Spain):
This GCP-supported course was organized by the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Zaragoza, Spain (IAMZ), part of the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM) in September 2005. This course was intended to provide breeders, geneticists, applied statisticians and other crop specialists involved in designing and analysing field experiments, with working knowledge on different statistical tools for the multi-environment trials (METs) analysis. - GCP Workshop on Molecular Markers for Allele Mining (22-26 August 2005, Chennai, India): The goal of this workshop was to review the progress of various projects, explicate both scientific and managerial issues, provide the SP1 community with the opportunity for internal coordination, and discuss a range of scientific issues and problems.
- GCP Project Proposal Development Workshop -- This workshop was intended to help scientists who are planning, writing, or reviewing concept notes and proposals to submit to international donors. The course covers problem analysis, logframe development, various international donor proposal criteria, proposal workplans and budgets, project management issues, and fundraising skills. The course was offered in three locations (Benin, Malaysia, and Ecuador) in 2005.
- Plant Genetic Diversity and Molecular Marker Assisted Breeding Workshops, held at the following three locations:
- University of Pretoria in South Africa (22 May-1 June 2005)
- Santiago, Chile (3-21 October 2005)
- Kasetsart University in Thailand (20 Aug-4 September 2005)
- Genetic Resources Policies: A workshop session in China (part of the First International Conference on Genomics-based Plany Germplasm Research, Beijing, China, 25-28 April 2005) -Publication - Conference programme
