The congress represents a unique opportunity for exchanging expert and scientific advice on Root & Tuber Crops (RTCs) and will facilitate the discourse amongst key root and tuber crops stakeholders like farmers, end-users, researchers, the private sector and donor agencies.
It aims at raising awareness of the importance of the RTCs in the world, reviewing recent scientific progress, identifying and setting priorities for new opportunities and challenges as well as charting a course to seek R&D support for areas where it is currently inadequate or lacking.
Due to its structure and content, the congress will facilitate the process of bringing together the scientific world and the private sector.
