In the last five years many European nitrogen scientists were involved in the production of the European Nitrogen Assessment were organised. The European Nitrogen Assessment (or in short ENA) is the major outcome of the NinE programme, jointly with the COST Action 729 and the NitroEurope IP.

The ENA will be publicly launched during the 'Nitrogen and Global Change' Conference, organised in Edinburgh (UK) from 11-14 April, 2011.

From 9 to 11 September the 5th ENA Workshop will be organised in Brussels. More information about this meeting will become available via the ENA pages.

The 16th Nitrogen Workshop
Connecting different scales of nitrogen use in agriculture

will be held in Turin, Italy, from June 28th to July 1st, 2009.

The Workshop is jointly organised by the Department of Crop Science of the University of Milan and by the Department of Agronomy, Forest and Land Management of the University of Turin.

Workshop on Comparison of static chambers to measure N2O, CH4 and CO2 fluxes from soils in Copenhagen 15th - 17th December 2008.

The workshop is a continuation of a static chamber calibration campaign held in Hyytiälä August - October 2008, Finland. In the workshop results from the calibration campaign will be presented and central topics within the scope of measurements of gas fluxes with static chambers will be adressed through presentation by three invited speakers all working with chamber measurements and also through group work sessions.

The workshop aims at producing ideas and solutions to:

International scientific conference THE EUROPEAN FOREST-BASED SECTOR : BIO-RESPONSES TO ADDRESS NEW CLIMATE AND ENERGY CHALLENGES?

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT - Further details will be sent in January 2008

Why? During its presidency of the European Union (second semester 2008), France wishes to contribute to the debate on the roles of forests and their products in a post-2012 climate regime.

What? The roles of the forest-based sector and perspectives for the future will be discussed under three main headings:

1. forests as carbon sinks,
2. wood-based bioproducts as carbon pools and substitutes to materials with a high energy footprint,
3. wood-based sector as a source of bioenergy. How? Invited keynote speakers in plenary sessions, voluntary contributions in parallel sessions or poster sessions.

Where? Nancy (Palais des congrès), city in the East of France (1 1/2 hour from Paris by TGV - High Speed Train)

The NEU 3rd Annual Meeting and Open Science Conference will take place at Het Pand, Ghent, Belgium.

The full programme is divided into two parts, the first part on Monday and Tuesday, 18-19th February is the 3rd NEU Annual Meeting, designated for NitroEurope IP project meetings and open to project participants only; the second part on Wednesday and Thursday, 20th-21st February is the Open Science Conference, consists of keynote presenations, discussions and workshops on the theme "Reactive Nitrogen and the European Greenhouse Gas Balance". You can find the Brochure and Call for Papers here.

In October 2007 during the successful 4th Nitrogen 2007 Conference in Brazil, the Nitrogen Visualisation was presented.

All participants were challenged to become the best global nitrogen manager using the Visualisation tool and earn free entrance to the next Nitrogen Conference (room, boarding and registration, travel costs not included) to be organized in New Delhi (India) in 2010. The contest is closed now and the winner will be presented shortly.

We want to make a first attempt to get a database compiled of everybody involved in Nitrogen related activities. This database will contain information about persons, institutes, fields of expertise and networks and will be extended in the future. In order to search the database your have to register to this site and fill in your own profile.

If you have any interest in other activities going on in the field of nitrogen don't hesitate to register, fill in your profile. In this way you may find others working in the large world of nitrogen and others may find you.
