  Teruaki Nanseki (Kyushu University, Japan) [nanseki@agr.kyushu-u.ac.jp]

 Members :  

APAN Agricultural Working Group, Investigating Team from Strategic Indian-Japanese Cooperative Programme on Multidisciplinary Research, DST and JST .

 Objectives:  
In Asia, several national and international research projects in which sensor networks and geo-ICT are being applied for agriculture and environment assessments. This workshop will provide the stakeholders of the projects as well as those who are interested in the topic an opportunity to share the information and knowledge through appealing presentations and discussions.


 Target Audience :  

Academia, researchers, industry, decision makers from the areas of ICT and Sensor Networks as well as from the Agriculture/Environment domains .

 Expected Number
  of Participants :
  20 - 30
 Agenda:
