About the Institute
The Centre for Agricultural Research in Suriname (CELOS) is a foundation, established in 1967. Our Centre is linked with the Anton de Kom University of Suriname (ADEK). We are active in various areas of Agriculture and Forestry, which can contribute to national development.

Objectives
Since expertise of various Agricultural and Forestry fields exists within the staff of CELOS and the Faculty of Technology of the ADEK University, these institutions are able to adapt their programs to target many Agricultural and Forestry sub-areas. At present emphasis is placed on finding solutions for the Agricultural and Forestry sector through the application of new technologies. Collaboration with international recognized Institutions and Universities aiming at similar objectives is a priority of CELOS.
This results in exchange of knowledge, technology transfer and joint research efforts.

Scientists and research associates from CELOS, the ADEK University and faculty students conduct research in our laboratories, or at one of our field sites:

• Phedra and Tijgerkreek West (Agriculture);
• Kabo and Mapane (Forestry) or;
• Central Suriname Nature Reserve (Biodiversity).

Mission
CELOS is the Centre for Agricultural Research in Suriname with focus on Sustainable Management and Utilization of Renewable Natural Resources through Applied Scientific Research and Services.
