The young team of the RADAR-BE project took the opportunity of the presence of the IRD correspondent of the project visiting Benin to hold a working session between members of the project team during the day of 22/06/2018. This session made it possible to define the road map for the implementation of the activities of the RADAR BE project and the setting up of the thesis project of the doctoral student recruited within the framework of the project. It was also an opportunity for the project team members to contact the IRD correspondent of the project. The project activities were thus officially launched.
