Conferences

One of NDRDs declared objectives is to organize regional and international cooperation and promote communication among those engaged in drylands research and sustainable development. In order to further the attainment of this mandate we will therefore coordinate activities of mutual interest to drylands research, including international and regional scientific conferences, symposia, workshops, etc.
We aim to organize events at least every two years to provide forums for formal and informal exchange of the concepts, methods and directions that move drylands issues forward in policy debate and research.
