Call for Papers for Sustainable Management Workshop
Call for Papers for Workshop on Sustainable Management of Wastewater for Agricultural Production in Water-scarce Countries.
The International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) and the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) have launched the idea of a 'Bridging Workshop Series' to bridge the knowledge gap between the advanced research institutions, including the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) system, and young professionals from national agricultural research institutions (NARS).
The first 'Bridging Workshop' will be hosted by ICARDA and IWMI, and will address aspects relating to the safe use of wastewater in agriculture. The workshop will culminate in the development of proceedings and joint concept notes for collaborative research. Post-workshop and follow-up activities on proposals will enhance interaction among the participants and other researchers.
Venue and Date
The Workshop is provisionally scheduled to be held from 11 to 15 November 2007 at ICARDA's headquarters in Aleppo, Syria. There will be a one-day field visit to wastewater-irrigated areas.
