Taking notes in the field during CIMMYT open house
A student takes notes in the field during a university open house for Mexican students. On 27 September 2007, 200 students from eight universities visited CIMMYT's headquarters at El Batán, Mexico, where they toured the biotechnology laboratories, germplasm bank, and maize and wheat fields, while learning about the center’s mission and work. The aim of the event was to raise student interest in agricultural research, and perhaps encourage future collaboration with CIMMYT. This was the first time such an open house was held, and it has now become an annual event, known as "CIMMYT a Puerta Abierta".
