We look forward to your participation in these events.

Yours truly,

Dr. Eden Woon

Participants will learn how data-based measures can promote sustainable development, with applications ranging from the screening and treatment of pollution sources, to the improvement of solid waste management capacities, to the examination of forest cover and effectiveness of protection measures.

Whilst it is recommended that applicants have a basis in GIS or other software related to data analysis, those with limited or no experience are also encouraged to apply.
