FNCA 2020 Workshop on Radiation Processing and Polymer Modification for Agricultural, Environmental and Medical Applications Project

26th - 27th October 2020
Zoom Web Meeting

Discussion at the Online Workshop

The FNCA 2020 Workshop on Radiation Processing and Polymer Modification (RPPM) was held on 26th and 27th October 2020, via Zoom Web Meeting. The workshop was hosted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of Japan. Thirty-three (33) representatives involved in radiation processing and polymer modification from 10 FNCA member countries attended the workshop, namely Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mongolia, The Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. Kazakhstan was materials only due to the schedule. The program of the workshop is attached as Annex 1. The list of participants is attached in Annex 2.

[Workshop]

On opening the workshop, Ms Tanaka Fumiyo gave welcoming remarks and Dr Wada Tomoaki and Dr Namba Hideki gave opening remarks. Following the opening session, Dr Tamada Masao reported the overview of the RPPM project. He also reported that an evaluation for a launch of next phase in this project will be extended from March 2021 to March 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After the introductory sessions, eight (8) progress reports on the current research and development (R&D) status prolonged the COVID-19 influence of Biofertlizer were presented. On the second day, nine (9) country reports were presented on the progress of current research on radiation processing and polymer modification. Following the progress reports, the participants reported changes in the status of radiation facilities and research activities from March/April to October 2020. Finally, the workshop was summarized, and concluded officially by the closing remarks by Dr Tamada. The summary of each report is attached in Annex 3.
