The Research Gateway workshop facilitated by Robert Bata from AWS was also opened to other interested IRRI HQ staff.<\/p>

All in all, the sessions provided an avenue for EBS staff to share, collaborate, and try new ways of working with a unified goal of delivering quality service for EBS clients. This event is part of the efforts to continuously upskill staff as EBS becomes the sole breeding data management system across CGIAR Research Centers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
