Fourth Nitrogen Conference (N-2007)

The International Nitrogen Initiative (INI) would like to invite you to participate in the Fourth Nitrogen Conference (N-2007), which will be held in Costa do Sauípe, Bahia, in Northeast Brazil, from October 1 - 5, 2007.

ABSTRACT DEADLINE EXTENTED TO 15 AUGUST 2007

Conference participants will learn about all aspects of and issues surrounding nitrogen, one of the most fascinating elements on Earth.

Nitrogen is an essential component of any plan for reducing world hunger, poverty, and disease.  When used in excess, however, N becomes an important pollutant.  This duality it one of the major challenges that humanity has to face now and in the future if we want to ensure environmental sustainability.  The complex problems of N cannot be tackled individually, but rather the solutions must engage a large community that encompasses a broad spectrum of professionals.  For N2007, we are inviting not only participants concerned with particular aspects of N cycling, but also participants from the policy, development, and engineering communities.  The N2007 meeting is the
perfect venue to discuss these issues and to find common ground to begin to find answers and solutions to alleviate world hunger with minimal environmental harm.  N-2007 will build an agenda for how to better manage nitrogen across our planet.  We will develop some specific goals to reach by 2025, set in the context of the goals of the United Nations Millennium Development Program.  To achieve these goals, we will use a mixture of plenary lectures, short workshops, and poster sessions.
