My job :
Project manager of European project for the DIADE and AMAP joint research unit at CIRAD.
Background :
I have tirthy seven year of experience in the field of project management and coordination, including ten years in the Netherlands.
I have been in charge of the management and coordination of several research projects funded by the European Union (BIOTIK, OSWALD, ORCHIS, SEAMLESS, AFROWEEDS, WIKWIO).
My role in BOLERO project :
As a European project manager, I am a member of the project team. I work side by side with the project coordinator and his deputy.
I coordinate the day-to-day exchanges within the consortium and facilitate the overall management of the consortium in accordance with the grant agreement and the consortium agreement.
My responsibilities include a wide range of tasks relating to the organisational, administrative, financial and legal management of the project. I work in close collaboration with my colleagues from other CIRAD departments, partners and the Project Officer of the European Union to manage and coordinate the project.
Ongoing projects :
BOLERO project (at UMR DIADE) : Breeding for coffee and cocoa root resilience in low input farming systems based on improved rootstocks.
GUARDEN project (at UMR AMAP) : SafeGUARDing biodivErsity aNd critical ecosystem services across sectors and scales
BOLERO project aim is to identify root characteristics that improve productivity, optimise the use of nitrogenous nutrients and develop digital tools to help select the best rootstocks.
The project is taking place in three countries - Vietnam, Nicaragua and Uganda - representing three continents (Asia, South America, Africa) and a diversity of production systems.
It is looking at the role of root architecture in the productivity of coffee and cocoa trees, with a view to selecting the most suitable rootstocks.
In particular, the aim is to identify root characteristics that improve productivity, optimise the use of nitrogenous nutrients and develop digital tools to help select the best rootstocks.
The BOLERO project brings together eighteen partners, including five private partners, from eight European Union countries (Austria, Germany, Denmark, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Czech Republic) and the United Kingdom, as well as Nicaragua, Vietnam and Uganda.
The project is funded by the European Union with a budget of €8 million and began on 1 Ocotber 2022 for four years.
GUARDEN project aims to increase the capacity to preserve biodiversity and its contribution to human subsistence.
This will be achieved through the development of innovative and widely accessible digital methods, as illustrated today through the Pl@ntNet platform.
Case studies are being carried out in southern Europe (Spain, France, Greece, Cyprus) on the remarkable plants of Mediterranean ecosystems.
More generally, they focus on plant species of Community interest, recorded in the appendices of the European Habitats Directive.
A case study from Madagascar revisits the island's exceptional, but highly threatened, biodiversity, with a focus on trees and shrubs, which provide structure to ecosystems.
The GUARDEN project consortium brings together sixteen partners from six European Union countries (Belgium, France, Cyprus, Spain, Greece and the Netherlands) and two associated countries (Madagascar and the United Kingdom).
Multidisciplinary, it involves ten major research organisations and universities, as well as four pioneering SMEs and two regional organisations.

Background :
PhD in plant molecular physiology at INRA-Supagro (Montpellier, France), Post-Doc Systems Biology at CGSB New York University (New York, USA).
Junior researcher in the CoffeeAdapt Team at CIRAD, since 2017, studying abiotic stress tolerance of Coffee plants, such as elevated temperatures, drought, nutrition…
My role in BOLERO project :
As deputy coordinator of BOLERO project, I ensure that the project goes well and smooth. Based in Nicaragua, I’m in charge of supervising activities, especially for the WP1.
Ongoing project :
BOLERO project at UMR DIADE 2022-2026 : Breeding for coffee and cocoa root resilience in low input farming systems based on improved rootstocks
The BOLERO Project has a duration of 4 years (2022 – 2026). Its main objective is to design new rootstocks for coffee and cocoa, mitigate the effects of climate change, with faster and less expensive selection programs, and distribute the results to producers at the end of the project. CIRAD leads this project in collaboration with 14 laboratories in Europe and 3 producing countries (Nicaragua, Uganda and Vietnam). Most of the trials are carried out in the field or in camps, in Nicaragua, with the support of the FNF, but also in Vietnam and Uganda. The project is funded by the EU, the results are 100% public and the various products are based on the new concept of Open Source Seeds (https://www.opensourceseeds.org/en/home).
MADGIC Project (CIRAD-Nestlé 2022-2024) : Understand molecular basis of coffee Male sterility and design a protocol for drought-tolerance selection
The F1 Hybrids developed by CATIE-CIRAD produce between 20 to 45% more than the best pure coffee lines. However, considering the cost of vegetative multiplication, it does not allow its use for small producers. Two F1 coffee varieties were developed using sterile males. The first objective of the Madgic project is to understand the molecular basis of male sterility in coffee in order to allow an early-stage selection of sterile males (butterfly state). The second objective is the development of a simple and cheap protocol to select drought-tolerant coffee plants. The project is financed by CIRAD-Nestlé. The results will be 100% public and published from 2025.
Breeding4Futu Breeding4Future Project (2021-2026) :
Select varieties of Arabica, Robusta and/or new species, tolerant to climate change and rust, productive and of good cup quality. The project generates 'pre-candidate' varieties that will then be tested on different producer farms in Nicaragua. The project is financed by collaboration CIRAD-ECOM.
