A joint SIANI-SLU Global workshop took place on March 3, 2016 at SEI, Stockholm. The workshop aimed at discussing the impact of the Swedish involvement in capacity building as well as lessons learned. The workshop had the participation of 24 persons, among international researchers, PhD and master students, members of the Swedish government, universities, consulting agencies and the SIANI network. The workshop started with four inspiring presentations with examples of the impact of Swedish capacity development in Cambodia, Rwanda, Kenya and Georgia.
During the group discussions there was a common agreement that the Swedish contribution has had a positive impact on the cooperating countries and institutions. The participants gave concrete examples of the impact of the Swedish contribution at the institutional, national and regional levels. One of the lessons learned is to aim at a more horizontal cooperation, a long term involvement and planning, investment in vocational education and to strive for more gender balance.

A report from the event is available at the SIANI website.

Together, SIANI and SLU Global host Agri4D, a large biannual national conference. This conference also has an inter-twining biannual smaller meeting for young researchers since 2014. For 2016 it was proposed to carry out the smaller conference with the thematic field of “multifunctional landscapes”. A desired outcome of the meeting is to contribute to networks and multidisciplinary exposure for young researchers in relevant fields. This conference also gives an opportunity to expose interesting and relevant new research within the Swedish resource base to media and interested stakeholders.
This year’s young researchers meeting was held in Gothenburg, Sweden on 7-8 June with the participation of 15 young researchers who presented their research and discussed with a group of peers receiving at the same time comments from three senior researchers in the field.
All attendants were encouraged to work within multidisciplinarity and to collaborate with others: not only does it make good science, but it helps solving questions, and is a lot of fun.

Antimicrobial use has been very important for both human and animal health. However, the resistance to antibiotics makes it more difficult nowadays to treat infections caused by resistant bacteria from our use and misuse of AM in humans and animals.
In Uppsala, a seminar on Antimicrobial resistance in livestock in low-income countries was held on June 9, 2016. The event was organized jointly by SLU Global and SIANI at SLU Campus Ultuna. The aim of the event was to discuss the role of the livestock sector in low-income countries in this emergence from policy, research and development perspectives.
The seminar was held with 32 participants, eight of them were leading experts who discussed implications associated with antimicrobial use in livestock, and issues with antimicrobial use and resistance in low-income countries.
