As of January 2009, the Knowledge Sharing and Capacity Building office will merge with CIMMYT library to constitute a Knowledge, Information, and Training Group, as part of the Corporate Communications Unit. Petr Kosina will manage the group, moving with his support team to the CIMMYT library at El Batán. Strategic aims behind the change include integrating and enhancing diverse information management and knowledge sharing/capacity building products and services— among them library services, conference and training services, distribution of publications, other web services—that are increasingly managed and shared electronically and on-line.
