The Purdue University Global Engineering Program and the Chicago-based Office for Science and Technology of the French Embassy are co-organizing a French-American Symposium on “Developing Partnerships for Sustainable Water Management and Agriculture in the context of Climate and Global Change” that is underway at Purdue University in West Lafayette.

The symposium, 11-12 May, is sponsored by the The Office for Science and Technology of the Embassy of France in the United States, NSF, OECD, the French Ministry of Agriculture, and several French research institutions (CNRS, INRA, INPT, IRD, IAMM, ONEMA).

About 120 invited scientists from France, the United States and the international community are attending the symposium. Key themes of the presentations and discussions will be summarized in a report to be shared with scientists and interested policy-makers in France, the United States and the broader international scientific community.
