CONNECTED supports collaboration between researchers in the UK and developing countries, as well as engagement with end-users, stakeholders and policy makers. It creates opportunities for individuals to engage with each other, build critical mass and create research consortia to respond to funding opportunities in the research area of vector-borne plant viruses.
We are committed to ensuring the network is well represented by members from environmental, social, economic and policy fields as well as members with wide-ranging biological expertise.
Network members can:
- Access a range of member-only resources
- Use our searchable directory of members to find research partners, to forge new links and consolidate existing ones
- Apply for CONNECTED training funds when available to attend a course or visit other network members to gain new expertise
- Attend network conferences and other events to meet other members, and help define the future direction of the network
- Write a blog article, or make a presentation for CONNECTED
