Colleagues

I trust the month of October is off to a great start for you. The following may be of interest to some of you.

The University of Nottingham, the Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD), the Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition (GODAN) and Crops for the Future (CFF) are pleased to announce an AgriGIS Workshop and Think Tank meetings to be held at RCMRD, Nairobi, October 27-28, 2016.

The objectives of the workshop are to:

Promote the use of Open software, open data and Open science in the agriculture sector in Africa using AgriGIS as an example
Share ideas from GRASP research and build more collaborations
Act as a springboard for GODAN capacity development activities

The workshop is free to attend. Participants have to make their own travel and accommodation arrangements if coming from outside Nairobi.
