Dear
Taiwanese colleagues and friends,
The French delegates returned safely to their homes with great memories and many
ideas for future collaboration.
We have all been delighted by our stay in Taiwan, by your kindness and sense of
hospitality. We learned a lot about your research interests and capacities, your
experimental equipments and facilities.
The bilateral seminar was perfectly organized and we want to reiterate our
acknowledgments and gratitude to all the persons who contributed to its
preparation and achievement. This seminar was the occasion to collect many
professional contacts in relation to our own scientific interests and to the
management of minipigs. It was also a good medium to think about a strategy to strengthen
our partnership and plan our future collaborations using the minipigs
for biomedical research.
The seminar conclusion allowed to identify a specific topic for the next
bilateral seminar: Nutrition and health/welfare in the minipig model for
research in human nutrition and swine production. We all agreed on the
necessity to identify the nutritional requirements of different minipig breeds,
and to make a list of representative criteria for animal & human health and
welfare (behavior, physiology, metabolism, etc.), notably in relation with
nutrition and possible further genetic selection.
We also identified several steps to give a concrete expression to our
collaboration on this thematic. The first step is to identify and make a
list of existing or on-going projects at INRA and TLRI that could be of interest
for both institutes and constitute a basis for reflection or future
collaborations. The second step is to identify funding opportunities to
exchange visiting students, technical staff and/or scientists, and to submit
INRA/TLRI-TAPS joint project proposals with shared interests. During our stay in
Taitung, we discussed with Hsien-Pin Chu about different exchange/collaboration
opportunities, and we are ready to enlarge the discussion with other scientists
at TLRI interested in joint actions. The first action we evoked with Hsien-Pin
would be a behavioral and metabolic phenotypic characterization of the different
minipig lines available in Taitung. The details of this action need to be
further discussed and organized, and we are ready to welcome some staff (or
student) from Taitung to teach them how to perform behavioral assessments in
minipigs (in conjunction with physiological/metabolic measurements).
In the next few weeks, I will write a first version of the report summarizing
the accomplishments of this seminar and the results of our multiple discussions.
I will send it to Hsien-Pin and some of you for revisions and additions before
submission to our respective funding agencies. The aims of this report are 1) to
justify the right use of the grants obtained to organize the bilateral seminar
and our stay in Taiwan, and 2) to set a "roadmap" for further collaboration,
including a future seminar and joint research projects. We are also open to any
suggestion.
Once again, we want to acknowledge all the persons who made our stay in Taiwan a
real and great pleasure. It was professionally and personally enriching and
rewarding. We are already looking forward to receiving some of you in France and
organizing our next stay in Taiwan!
Best wishes,
The French Delegation (Christophe Jaeger, Catherine Larzul, Marie-Christine
Meunier-Salaün, & David Val-Laillet)
P.S. Please forward this message to the persons I might have forgotten (or for
whom I do not have an email address)
