Abstract |
Many ideas have been discussed during the past two days. Before talking about their implications for CIMMYT, I want to review briefly some enduring aspects of our history and to comment on some of the changes that have occurred during the past twenty years. The two combine to make today's CIMMYT both the same and yet different from the CIMMYT of 1966. I will then go on to talk about how we see the near future, incorporating many of the ideas of the workshop. I add that in 1987 and in conjunction with an External Review, we will formulate a five year plan. It is in that effort that the discussions of the worksh~p will have their greatest influence. |
