EU FP6 GLIP Project
- Technology Transfer Leader
2005 - 2008
- Assessed the progress and outputs of the EU Grain Legumes Integrated Project (GLIP) towards the exploitation of discoveries and technologies achieved and developed in the project.
- Disseminated outputs to the scientific community and transferred appropriate information and material to grain legume breeders.
GLIP was a €25 M integrated multidisciplinary research project involving 25 countries, 65 contractors.

GL-TTP
- Scientific Manager
2005 - 2008
- Monitored, evaluated and integrated the information and expertise generated in the international community for grain legume research.
- Evaluated the real needs and constraints of the grain legume breeding programmes worldwide.
- Assessed the relevance of new technologies and discoveries for the grain legume industry.
- Disseminated appropriate information, organised research/industry meetings, set up public/private partnerships, and proposed technology transfer projects with the objective of increasing the production and quality of grain legumes worldwide.
Organiser of international meeting, 10/2006 – 04/2007.
“Targeting Science to Real Needs”, 23-25 April 2007, Paris, France.
Defined, organised and managed a high-quality international meeting between the private and public sectors, involving mostly research scientists and plant breeders from 17 countries, 5 continents, towards meeting GL-TTP and GLIP objectives (www.gl-ttp.com/news_events/first_gl_ttp_workshop/programme).
