On 25 February the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) hosted a webinar to explore AGRIS, the International System for Agricultural Science and Technology, and demonstrate how partnering with the AGRIS Network can amplify the visibility of an institution's research, foster international collaboration, and enhance knowledge exchange. More than 250 participants from 98 countries attended the highly impactful webinar, which focused on the benefits of joining the AGRIS Network and how to do so. 

The primary objective of the webinar was to provide an overview of the impact that joining the AGRIS network can have within an institution including: expanding the visibility of research and publications; being part of a global network of leading Data Providers; enhancing access to agricultural knowledge for an institution; and supporting  open science and knowledge sharing in agriculture.

The webinar served as an invaluable opportunity for participants to learn practical tips on how to register to become part of the AGRIS Network and the requirements to do so.
