The Volcano Center has a tremendous international reputation built over many decades of outstanding research. Much if not all of this investment would be lost if the institute is relocated or closed.

Food production is the basis for any nation. Effective research cannot happen in a remote outpost! Best success with the petition.

The scientific work of the Vulcani Centre in environmental sciences is very important. We should facilitate their working conditions as much as possible.

We have a history of fruitful collaborations with scientists at the Volcani Center, an internationally recognized research center in agriculture. I fully support this petition of keeping the center intact at its current location.

delete Plant and food production are the most important activities humans require to sustain an enjoyable life, yet the related research domains are not considered as high end activities. High quality food produced in a sustainable way is the most important topic of our society, well above cars and airplanes. Lets act in accordance and keep the Volcani center active.

One of the grand challenges to humanity is feeding growing populations with dwindling resources. The long term records and infrastructure of a research center such as the Volcani Center are critical to this effort and are irreplaceable. Please do not close this resource.

It is only logical to keep the Volcani Center at its current and effective location. This is also a historical treasure as one of the birthplaces of international fish genetics and breeding.

CIRAD is a french Institute working on agronomy (especially with Southern countries). We have a fruitful partnership with the Volcani Center since 1990 especially on fish genetics. Scientists of the Volcani Center are internationally renowned on this topic. Closing the Volcani Center would be a terrible news for the international scientific community.
