2021 CFCRA Research Summit  /  ARCCC Sommet de recherche


​​The 2021 CFCRA Research Summit was held virtually on February 2-3, 2021. The Summit was an opportunity for researchers, funders and other industry and government representatives to discuss the new CFCRA research strategy, crop research priorities, collaboration, and innovative approaches to interdisciplinary research. Participants also engaged in a pre-meeting online workspace that primed the discussions for the event and provided research updates on current CFCRA research activities (CAP Soybean Cluster, Corn Project & Oat Project) as a background for all attendees to build upon. 

The purpose of the Summit was to:
  • Share research updates from current CFCRA research programming
  • Present a new CFCRA Research Strategy
  • Gather feedback on refined and updated CFCRA Research Priorities
  • Encourage the development of effective collaborations to address the new Research Strategy
  • Identify innovative solutions to address research priorities with the new Research Strategy
