Announcement "BGU Water Forum" - gathering of researchers no. 2

Dear colleagues,

The Zuckerberg Institute for Water Research, at the Blaustein Institutes for Desert Research, with the support of the Vice-President and Dean for Research & Development, is pleased to announce another gathering of researchers from BGU whose research is related to the study, development and treatment of water resources.
The aim of the meeting is to exchange ideas and to form a "cluster of researchers" with a common interest in identifying potential areas for co-operation in future projects.
In the previous meeting, more than 20 researchers described their research and stated that their work is in water-related. There is no doubt that such meetings have and continue to assist in creating co-operation between researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
In this first announcement, we invite all researchers at the university, who are involved in water-related research, and who are interested in taking an active part in the meeting, to present their hypothesis and findings of current or recently completed research, or future planned projects. Based on this, we will try to establish a "Cluster Research Project".
Those interested in submitting a proposal, should reply by email with the following information:
Personal details (full name, email, phone numbers).
Title of project and abstract of half a page - Hebrew or English.
Deadline for submitting proposals: 30.11.05.
From the proposals submitted, 10 will be selected to be presented in a 20-minute lecture at the meeting.

Date of the meeting: 22 December 2005
