Developing relationships with highly engaged external stakeholders is integral to CEPAR's outcomes. Research success in the 21st century will increasingly depend on the synergies generated by combining disciplines and by linking researchers with end-users.

Two-way engagement with external stakeholders will be facilitated by:

• Boardroom briefings
• Professional education tailored to meet the needs of end users
• Seminars and workshops organised with government agencies
• Industry representation at our annual conferences

Through these activities, CEPAR seeks to increase its impact on policy and business practice.
