Inter-Regional Cooperative Research Network on Cotton for the Mediterranean and Middle East Regions
ICAC and the former Hellenic Cotton Board of Greece organized a meeting of regional cotton researchers in Athens, Greece in July 1984, which can be rightly called the origin and first meeting of the Inter-regional Cooperative Research Network on Cotton for the Mediterranean and Middle East Regions. At this meeting, Greece proposed to form a regional network and have regular meetings. Later, the FAO Regional Office for Europe and Near East and CIRAD-CA (then IRCT) of France also actively participated and sponsored meetings of the network. The network attained its formal status after many years.
The network has an electronic mailing list, hosted by ICAC, for communications among researchers. You can request to subscribe for free by sending an email message to: tis@icac.org.
