*New version v3.0.6 of the *PERSAM tool
<https://esdac.jrc.ec.europa.eu/content/european-food-safety-authority-efsa-data-persam-software-tool>

There is a new version v3.0.6 of the PERSAM tool that contains a small bug
fix: there were problems with starting the calculation for projects
imported using the ‘Import project(s)’ functionality. This is solved and
the issue does not occur anymore. The User Manual remains unchanged, so the
one for version v3.0.5 applies. Check it out on the PERSAM page. *PERSAM is
used by regulatory offices and industry for predicting environmental
concentrations of pesticides in top-soil*. In support of the EFSA Guidance
Document for predicting environmental concentrations of active substances
of plant protection products in soil.

EU Soil Observatory Stakeholders Forum
<https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/event/other-event/euso-stakeholders-forum>:
19-21 October 2021

The Joint Research Centre (JRC) is organising the first ever EUSO
Stakeholders Forum. For background info, please see the concept note
<https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/sites/default/files/concept_note_euso_final_sep2021.pdf>.
This three-day event (built on six, focused, half-day sessions) will
reflect the challenges facing soil within the various strategies of the
Green Deal  and Horizon Europe’s proposed Mission on Soil Health and Food.
The meeting will also establish *four dedicated Working Groups *to address
burning scientific and policy questions: soil monitoring,  data
integration, soil pollution, erosion and biodiversity. Participants should
*register* in order to participate in the discussion with Q&A. The agenda
<https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/sites/default/files/euso_stakeholder_forum_agenda.pdf>
is available:

<https://ec.europa.eu/jrc/en/euso/euso-stakeholders-forum/first-euso-stakeholders-forum-young-soil-researchers-forum>:
21 October 2021

The EU Soil Observatory Stakeholders Forum organizes a 2.5-hours event with
*young* scientists. There will be *four parallel sessions*: soil
biodiversity, soil erosion, organic carbon & nutrients, soil monitoring and
pollution. We received almost 100 abstracts and we will host circa *50
presentations *from PhD candidates or early career scientists. The agenda

carbon combining the current LUCAS soil monitoring system data in the EU
with advanced modelling applications. Candidates should possess a degree in
agronomy, soil science, earth sciences, environmental sciences or
agricultural sciences. At least 5 years job-related experience on soil
organic carbon modelling, soil monitoring and analysis are desirable. The
candidate is requested to have modelling experience in soil carbon cycle
and dynamics in agroecosystems with particular specialization in machine
learning (e.g. Digital Soil Mapping) or Biochemical model (e.g. Century,
DayCent or equivalent). Apply here by *26.10.21*:
