Dear Partners and Observers,

 

We are very pleased to highlight events organized by GBEP or in collaboration with other relevant initiatives/organizations, occurring during the year, for your consideration and expression of interest to join. Please see the table below for full list and dates.

 

We would especially like to draw your attention on two upcoming webinars to be held under the Activity Group 7 on Biogas. These e-learning webinars will present and explain ‘BiogasDoneRight®’, a model for agricultural biogas based on the use of feedstocks that do not compete with food or fodder crops. The English webinar will be presented by Professor Bruce Dale of Michigan State University, 14.00-15.15 CEST time, Monday 15 April, and the Spanish version of the webinar will be presented by Jorge Hilbert of the National Agricultural Technology Institute of Argentina (INTA), 16.00-17.15 CEST time, 16 April 2019. The links for accessing the webinars in Adobe Connect can be found in the table below by clicking on the hyperlinks. The webinars are open to all so please feel free to share these links widely in your networks. We hope that many of you will be able to join us.

Please confirm your participation - specifying if it is related to the English or to the Spanish webinar - by 10 April 2019.
