The ENDURE network's four-year programme started in January 2007 and falls into three categories: integrating activities (IA), jointly executed research activities (RA) and cross-fertilisation or spreading activities (SA).

Building the network

Integrating activities (IA) help identify priority research areas, link up with other relevant research and public groups, and plan ENDURE's legal and financial sustainability.

Joint research programme

Jointly executed research activities (RA) stimulate and develop a culture of collaboration in areas that are key to achieving progress in reducing reliance on pesticides.

Disseminating results and knowledge

Cross-fertilisation (or spreading) activities (SA) extend ENDURE's activities and outputs to farmers, extension agents, students, policy makers, consumers and society at large, as well as eliciting feedback and dialogue to ensure that activities and outputs meet the needs of these stakeholders.
