On August 18^th, 2016, Wang Jie, a project official of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations (UN), was invited to visit the Agricultural Information Institute (AII) of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Center for International Agricultural Research(CIAR). Researcher Nie Fengying, Director of the International Information Research Office and Deputy Director of CIAR, exchanged ideas with Wang Jie on the challenges and practical experience encountered in project management. Wang Jie then gave a technical report titled "Sharing of United Nations Project Management Experience" taking FAO as an example. More than 20 young researchers and graduate students from relevant departments of Agricultural Information Institute， Institute of Agricultural Economics and Development and Institute of Environment and Sustainable Development in Agricultural attended the meeting. In the report, Wang Jie mainly introduced the FAO project process and management structure, project management practical experience and skills, project application writing and other standardized processes, and focused on sharing challenges and response measures in the FAO South Asia sub regional project, as well as opportunities and challenges in project execution in developing countries. He believed that running a project is a group of people who do something well with the same goal and always remember the initial vision and mission during the project execution period. Researcher Nie Fengying was of the opinion that this experience sharing meeting is very meaningful. The standardized processes and logical thinking framework in UN project management are worth learning for everyone. These introductions not only have important guiding significance for international project applications and management, but also have a good regulatory effect on domestic project management and daily work. It also has reference significance for the talent construction of future CIAR. In the discussion section, participants actively asked questions and interacted, and had in-depth discussions with Wang Jie about the problems they encountered in participating in international cooperation projects, such as communication with international organization, process standardization and expected project outcomes.

This experience sharing has strengthened the understanding of young researchers on project management, especially international projects, and helped to enhance further communication and cooperation among FAO, AII and CIAR.
