In October 2014, I became Distinguished Fellow in the Global Economy Program of the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI) in Waterloo, Ontario where I had served on the International Advisory Board of Governors since October 2004.

I was sworn in as President of the Tropical Research Institute (IICT) in Lisbon on 5 February, 2004 (click on port for initial statement after correction of a typo on the year of establishment and on portfor account of the first year). My mandate was renewed until IICT merged into the University of Lisbon, while its Overseas Archive (AHU) became part of the National Archives (ANTT) on 3 August, 2015 (preface of final publication).

An account of the three years until the new by-laws in May 2007 was published in a volume edited by Sofia Lopes, enlarged for the 125th anniversary celebration in 2008 under the title Tropical Knowledge, edited by Teresa Albino. Getting closer to the university was advocated in the report by Jean-Pierre Contzen, who had twice evaluated Portuguese state laboratories, in a report to the Steering Committee on the 130th anniversary, shortly after IICT had been moved to the supervision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The final two years are summarized in the preface to 131 years in pictures (131 anos em imagem) published on 31 July when Decree-Law 141/2015 came into force.

On 6 June, 2008 I was elected to chair the European Consortium on European Agricultural Research (ECART) of which IICT is a founding member and on 29-30 September hosted the 15th meeting of the Executive Council of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), following the workshop on Committing Science to Global Development described in the dedicated website.

The Lisbon declaration approved at the workshop was leveraged at the CGIAR general assembly in Maputo Mozambique and eventually led to a meeting of the Ministers of Science, Technology and Higher Education of CPLP on 19 August, 2009.

ECART became AGRINATURA-EEIG on 23 October, 2009.
