SUMMARY:Summer school on Dutch greenhouse horticulture
DESCRIPTION:Wageningen University and Research centre is the “knowledge heart” of the Dutch Greenhouse Horticulture\, which is the most advanced and productive in the world. After the huge success of the first “Summer School on Protected Horticulture”\, Wageningen UR scientists will share again their unique knowledge with international students and researchers during 2016 Summer School on Protected Horticulture that will be held in Wageningen. \nSummerschool outline\nAfter a general introduction on Protected Horticulture and a cursory review of important topics\, we will explore crop\, climate and root zone management in more detail\, in a varied and attractive mix of lectures\, practical case work\, company visits and seminars by relevant actors and\nexperts. The “social factor” will not be neglected: there will be joint dinners and a programme for the weekend can be prepared. \nTarget group\nThis excellent and intensive Summer School is meant for MSc and PhD students\, post-docs and junior scientists from all over the world. Particular attention has been given to develop a program that relates to and is interesting for protected cultivation with less technology than is usual in The Netherlands. So\, basics will be learned to apply directly in your own country/situation. \nResult\nAfter successfully attending the Summer School\, you will:\n• Know the most relevant processes in protected cultivation ranging from plant physiology to economics.\n• Understand how technology affects climate management\, crop production and resourceuse efficiency.\n• Be able to apply this knowledge to quantitatively address decisions about climate management\, crop cultivation and nutrition. \nFor more information on the topics\, speakers\, fees and registration\, pelase visit the website of the Wageningen Academy. \n

SUMMARY:IIASA-EU-AU Commissions Evidence and Policy Event
DESCRIPTION:IIASA\, in collaboration with the European and African Union Commissions\, is organizing an evidence and policy event. This event is aimed at policy officers and research scientists in the Water-Energy-Food nexus. Applications for participation are now open till 29 April 2016.  \nTo develop the necessary skills for improving practices in better integrating evidence into policy-making\, IIASA and the European and African Union Commissions have teamed up to organize this international 3-day evidence and policy event\, aimed at policy officers and scientists. Participants will develop their working practices\, behaviors and methods\, in both the scientific and policy-making domains via masterclasses and group work. \nThis year\, the organizers invite applications from policy officers and scientists developing policy and conducting research in the field of the Water-Energy-Food nexus. The event aims to meet the following 3 goals: \n\nEnhance participants’ skills in integrating evidence into policy-making.\nCreate a community of practice that will continue to collaborate afterwards.\nStimulate the participants to share their new skills and learning with their colleagues.\n\nEligibility criteria and information on the application process and the draft programme of the event\, can be found here. \n

SUMMARY:Youth in AgriBusiness
DESCRIPTION:AgriProFocus\, in partnership with the Young Emerging Farmers Initiative\, Agricomm\, Agriterra and BongoHive organize a two-day Youth in AgriBusiness Event. This event creates an opportunity for selected youth and organizations to participate in panel discussions\, business-case competitions\, a hackathon\, sharing testimonials and networking sessions. \nAre you between the ages of 18-35 looking for new opportunities and innovations in the agriculture sector? Would you like to express your opinions on youth involvement in agriculture? Or put your business skills to the test? Or perhaps you are an organisation that would not like to miss out on the business opportunity of engaging more youth? If you answered yes to any of these questions\, then this event is for you! \nOverall goal of the event is to link Zambian youth to agricultural stakeholders and learn about innovations and opportunities in the sector and to change their perception of agriculture. \nFor more information and the concept note\, see the AgriProFocus website. \n� \n
