PWAF 2025 highlights
First Regional Research Symposium 22-23 May
The Regional Research Agenda is shaping the future of agricultural and forestry research.
With support from ACIAR, this agenda will be showcased in the week before the Pacific Week of Agriculture in Tonga, at the first ever Regional Research Agenda Symposium. The symposium offers a strong opportunity to strengthen partnerships, promote our Pacific-focused research, and engage with a diverse audience including policymakers, researchers, and practitioners.
The final adapted Regional Research Agenda framework will then be presented to the Heads of Agriculture and Forestry for their endorsement at a meeting from 26-30 May in Nukualofa.
Connecting ACIAR Alumni
In collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry and SPC, ACIAR is also supporting and co-hosting the Symposium Dinner. With a significant number of ACIAR alumni, scholars, and project team members expected to participate in the symposium, the dinner presents a unique opportunity to celebrate and reconnect with ACIAR Alumni across the Pacific region, strengthen ties between key partners, recognise the contributions of ACIAR-supported projects to agricultural development in the region.
