FCDO is proud to support the team behind this important research as part of the @AmazonFACE project - a field experiment of unprecedented scope in the Amazon that will generate data on how forests will respond to elevated CO2, with major implications for the global carbon budget

Delighted to be ⁦The Royal Society⁩, along with leading scientists and officials from the UK and across Europe, to celebrate the UK’s association with Horizon Europe and Copernicus. Looking forward to discussions on the exciting and important opportunities ahead. #fcdocsa

I'm proud that the UK has pledged new FCDO Research funding for CGIAR.

Wonderful to be at @fcdo development conference, bringing together Fcdos senior leadership from around the world, to discuss how to deliver the white paper. Includes a panel discussion on the importance of data, innovation & science FCDO Research #fcdocsa

Wonderful to see Emmy Chirchir and Fran Davies from FCDO Research UK in Kenya 🇬🇧🇰🇪 on Citizen TV Kenya, speaking about guidance on Intellectual Property Protection, launched at Kenya Innovation Week - Commonwealth Edition. We hope that this is a useful resource for Kenya’s amazing innovators.

Who else is attending the #KenyaInnovationWeek ?

If you're, the UK, Kenya National Innovation Agency (KeNIA) and Anza Village will jointly host the Intellectual Property Rights summit tomorrow from 2pm at the event.

If you're working on an idea, you can pass by to learn how to protect it.

Wonderful to celebrate the achievements from FCDO Research investments in climate resilient biofortified crops, that are now an important source of nutritious food in developing countries.

Excited to see the launch of UK CGIAR centre, with FCDO Research support, building on UK support to CGIAR. The new centre will draw on UK scientific strengths to generate nutritious resilient crops, innovations and evidence to strengthen food systems and prevent hunger.

After a very full-on few months leading the team, thousands of pages of evidence and advice, and thousands of drafting amendments… thank you all!

My annual report focuses on health in an ageing society.

People are living longer than previous generations. It is something to celebrate but we need to maximise quality of life and minimise the time people spend in ill health. (1/5)
