Zoom Web Meeting

Participants of the Online Workshop

The FNCA 2021 Workshop on Radiation Processing and Polymer Modification (RPPM) was held on 29th and 30th November 2021, via Zoom Web Meeting. The workshop was hosted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) of Japan. Thirty-seven (37) representatives involved in radiation processing and polymer modification from 10 FNCA member countries attended the workshop, namely Bangladesh, China, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Mongolia, The Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.

[Workshop]

On opening the workshop, Ms Tanaka Fumiyo, MEXT, Mr Wada Tomoaki, FNCA Coordinator of Japan and Dr Tamada Masao, FNCA Advisor of Japan gave remarks. Following the remarks, Dr Taguchi Mitsumasa, FNCA RPPM Project Leader of Japan, explained the topics to be discussed and the programme for the workshop. After the introductory sessions, eight (8) reports for biofertilizer and ten (10) reports for radiation processing and polymer modification were presented on the activity summary and future plan. Following the reports, the result of the project activities and future plan were discussed and agreed by all participants. Finally, the workshop was summarized, and concluded by the closing remarks by Dr Taguchi.
