Presenter
Presentation Notes
This event today is the first opportunity to collaborate with the University of Dhaka, Institute for Nutrition and Food Science and we already started speaking about other areas of collaboration. Our aim is to create awareness for everyone to appreciate the breadth and depth of what has already been done by so many organizations. We see a need for a more concerted effort at providing access to wider group of interested organizations to these knowledge products. There are many untapped opportunities for collaboration and facilitating access.
