The Policy Support Cluster International (BOCI) is a research programme that is carried out by Wageningen UR and financed by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation (EL&I).
One of the main ambitions at Wageningen UR is to be an important, international centre of expertise that adds value to the quality of life by means of innovative research and educational programmes in the domain of healthy food and living environment.
The activities within these areas and forthcoming themes complement one another and/or are integrated where possible in order to effectively combat poverty and create sustainable development. Many of the identified challenges of developmental-oriented research and capacity building require an interdisciplinary approach that is actively promoted and carried out by Wageningen UR. Within BOCI, the choice was made to carry out the activities in a restricted amount of EL&I countries and/or areas in order to obtain the targeted, thematic integration.
