This conference is an output from a project ‘ Researching pathways to scaling up sustainable and effective kitchen smoke alleviation’ funded by the UK Department for International Development (DFID)to whom we express our thanks. The views expressed are not necessarily those of the DFID.
What is an e-conference?
An e-conference is one which will be held online via the internet (without any travelling or meeting face to face). While a physical meeting is certainly to be preferred, the online format allows for greater flexibility, much lower costs, and wider involvement of stakeholders. Another advantage is that people can 'attend' the conference while continuing their normal work, dedicating an hour or two to the conference early morning or each evening for example. Our e-conference will happen by email, supported by papers and other documentation to be made available on our website. After the conference, proceedings will be prepared and circulated via the CleanAirSIG web pages.
Participation in our e-conferences is free, and no travelling or accommodation is needed. We are inviting submission of short relevant papers, and we welcome your contributions (in the form of notes / questions / suggestions) during discussions.
