Training Publications Future Work 1. International Collaborative Project in Potato Late Blight Control is to reduce late blight through participation in selected activities. CEEM encourages and promotes partnerships to enhance research and technology transfer for late blight control. Collaboration of this type allows comparative advantages to merge into a single effort, thus avoiding redundancy.
Redundancy is costly, so collaboration allows more efficient use of increasingly scarce funds.
In addition, collaboration facilitates obtaining the proper agreements needed for research in given sites, and provides access to facilities and establishment of appropriate infrastructure. CEEM promotes the creation of an educated group of scientists with common goals and knowledge. It provides funding for students, visiting scientists, and a research network within which they can do research. CEEM also sponsors international workshops, field days, and other opportunities for information exchange. Winter greenhouse tests were developed for late bight resistance and it is likely that these tests will become a regular procedure for early generation screening process.
