As in the previous SoilCritZone workshops (Bristol, 2007 and Sofia, 2008), we will bring together experts for multidisciplinary debates on soil issues. In addition, SoilCritZone aims to have at least one expert scientist from each EU member state so that the European soil issues are fully represented and discussed. Scientists from the US and other non-EU countries, including developing countries, will also attend. General information on the Workshop 3, can be accessed at:
