WP3. Facilitating the establishment of an International Research Consortium (IRC) Building on the outcomes of WP1 and WP2 1. Co-design a 2020-2025 Strategic Research Agenda with support of the Stakeholder Advisory Board and Research Policy Committee. 2. Explore activities, resources and governance for an IRC on agricultural soil carbon and draft a work plan. 3. Organize preparatory meetings for this IRC, prepare the implementation plan and, if possible, the launch.

Create an International Research Consortium on SOC (WP3)
• Belmont forum pre-program on ‘Soil Health’
• European Joint Program, Agricultural Soils, with International calls
• EC Horizon Europe Mission planned on Land degradation and Soil
Health
=> CIRCASA Research Policy Committee: Explore activities,
resources and governance for an International Research
Consortium (IRC) on agricultural soil carbon and draft a work plan.
The Global Soil Partnership (GSP), the GRA, FACCE-JPI and the 4 per 1000
initiative will greatly facilitate this task, allowing the CIRCASA IRC to be
embedded into a broader soil and agricultural research context.

The International
Network of Soil
Information
Institutions (INSII) is
the backbone of Pillar
4 and is supported by
a technical working
group of soil
information experts
(P4WG).
Pillar 3: Promote targeted soil research and development
focusing on identified gaps, priorities and synergies with
related productive, environmental and social development
actions

Action Plan
• A multi-stakeholder platform to facilitate
partnerships
• A tool to expertise and evaluate projects
based on a set of references and indicators
Scientific Program
• An international research and scientific
cooperation program
• A digital resources center on carbon in
soils

Johannesburg, 24-26th October 2018
Main deliverables since 2016
• Installation of the Executive Secretariat
• Adoption by the Consortium upon the STC proposal of:
• a set of reference criteria for the evaluation of
projects and actions
• orientations of the international scientific
research and cooperation program
• Opening of the website « 4 per 1000 »

The Four pillars of the
International Research and Scientific Cooperation Program
1st Pillar: Estimating the potential of soil carbon
sequestration and associated benefits
2nd Pillar: Developing practices adapted to specific soil
and climate conditions
3rd Pillar: Define and strengthen the enabling
environment
4th Pillar: Monitoring, reporting and verification
of soil carbon
With the support ofWP3 Description of work (JRC) • T 3.1 Developing a Strategic Research Agenda at EU and global levels (INRA) • T 3.2 Mapping IRC activities, resources and governance (JRC) • T 3.3 Preparing for the establishment of an IRC (EI)
T 3.2 Mapping IRC activities,
resources and governance (JRC)
• A survey will identify the views from major institutions
potentially involved and the modes in which they would
like to contribute to IRC activities, resources and
governance. Based on this survey, and on consultations
with potential partners, with the RPC and the StAB and
on participating initiatives, including GSP, GRA, FACCE-
JPI and the 4 per 1000, the Executive Committee
(ExCom) will produce a report presenting
recommendations for the set-up of an IRC on SOC
sequestration in agriculture. This will lead to the
formulation of a draft IRC work program that will be
submitted for revision to the RPC.Objectives and deliverables of the
STAR-IDAZ International Research
Consortium (IRC):
The overall objective of STAR-IDAZ IRC is
to coordinate research at international
level to contribute to new and improved
animal health strategies for at least 30
priority diseases/infections/issues
The deliverables include :
• candidate vaccines, and/or
• diagnostics, and/or
• therapeutics and other animal health
products, and/or
• procedures and/or
• key scientific information/tools to
support risk analysis and disease
controlEntry ticket
Individual STAR-IDAZ IRC Programme
Owners/Funding Bodies
• To be considered as a member of the STAR-IDAZ IRC
the programme owner/funding body, whether a
member of STAR-IDAZ or not, should commit a
minimum of $10 million over 5 years for future
funding of research projects/programmes contributing
towards STAR-IDAZ IRC objectives. Each funding
body can nominate one representative to the
Executive Committee.
