The 2020 CLIFF-GRADS Science Collaboration Series was developed to facilitate technical capability building, knowledge transfer and international collaboration for the CLIFF-GRADS Alumni. Particularly for the Round 3 CLIFF-GRADS whose research stays have been delayed due to the global Covid-19 Pandemic. ; In addition to a series of special sessions with guest speakers, these webinars provide a platform for the Round 3 students to present their PhD research and research questions to their CLIFF-GRADS peers. Through establishing research connections, the CLIFF- GRADS Alumni network can connect internationally and across research institutes. ; Special Sessions A series of special sessions have been developed to facilitate knowledge sharing from senior researchers to CLIFF-GRADS Alumni, with emphasis on the science-policy interface for agricultural greenhouse gas emission management. Session topics include: i) the role of science in decision making, ii) national GHG inventories, iii) livestock MRV, iv) global agricultural production and emission trends, and v) farmer perspectives from the WFO young farmers Gymnasium program. ; Featured Speaker: Sir Peter Gluckman, Chair of the International Network of Government Science Advice (INGSA) and president-elect of the International Science Council (ISC)
