\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
In this year's GIZ/EZ section we will discuss the linkages and the connectivity between research and development. How much research is needed to guaranty an advancement of agricultural technologies and practices, and what knowledge and partnerships are needed to reach the final beneficiaries in order to achieve impacts related to the SDGs? We will discuss possibilities to transfer research results into practice.



Each panelist will give a 10 to 15 minute impulse presentation, followed by a discussion amongst panelists and later the full audience.







11:30 Stephan Krall (GIZ): Practitioners view on transfer of research results into practice 







11:45 Eva Weltzien (formerly ICRISAT): Transfer of research results into practice at International Agricultural Research Centers







12:00 Folkard Asch (University Hohenheim): Researchers view on the transfer of research results into practice 







12:15 Panel discussion







Moderated by Marlis Lindecke (GIZ - Advisory Service on Agricultural Research for Development)
