Co-organized by NEDO, Tohoku University, and NARO
[Attention] Symposium website will be unavailable because of network system maintenance from February 19 (Fri.) 20:00 to February 21 (Sun) 19:00.
Purpose
On March 1, we will hold an on-line international symposium entitled "Cool Earth via Microbes in Agriculture", co-organized by New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), Tohoku University, and National Agriculture and Food Research Organization (NARO).
NEDO is pursuing ambitious research and development activities to achieve the goal of the 'Moonshot Research & Development Program', coordinated by the Cabinet Office of Japan. As one of the projects, Tohoku University and NARO launched the project, "Mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural lands by optimizing nitrogen and carbon cycles", in 2020.
Meanwhile, several soil-related studies of the EU's Research and Innovation Programme 'Horizon Europe', are currently being implemented as the 'SOIL' Project of the European Joint Program.
In this symposium, the goals of the above projects and the trends in research on the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural lands by leading international research institutes will be shared. In addition, we will discuss "Cool Earth", how to stop global warming by optimizing carbon and nitrogen cycling".
If you are interested, please pre-register and join us.
Date
16:00-19:10
[Japan, UTC+9]
* This symposium will be held online (ZOOM).
Aims of the Symposium
- Disseminating innovation research strategies that balance agricultural production and global environmental conservation
- Japan, France, and the EU research collaborations on developing technologies for the mitigation of greenhouse gases from agricultural land, soil, and microbiological research
Program
* Please note that the program is subject to change without notice.
