Where appropriate, the Fund will also support other activities to assist the development of soil science generally but particularly in regions of the world where lack of resources limit opportunities. Research projects or travel costs of individuals will not be funded. Applications should be sent to\u00a0. The initial application process requires a short written proposal of no more than 500 words plus a budget indicating how the funds awarded are to be spent in relation to the total budget of the activity. The normal maximum award will be USD 2,500.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Submission Deadline: September 15, 2021<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Read more:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>https:\/\/www.iuss.org\/about-the-iuss\/iuss-stimulus-fund\/<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Abstract Submission for the World Congress of Soil Science 2022<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The organisers of The World Congress of Soil Science 2022 (WCSS), the British Society of Soil Science (BSSS) on behalf of the International Union of Soil Sciences (IUSS), are delighted to announce the opening of the abstract submission process for oral presentations and posters. The congress seeks to represent all those with an interest in soil science and is keen to receive abstract submissions from international colleagues whose research or practice links to soil.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The WCSS is inviting abstract submissions for the Interdivisional sessions, the Divisional scientific sessions, and the Working Group sessions and a full list of sessions, chosen to reflect the Congress theme,\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>Crossing Boundaries, Changing Society<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span>, can be found on the WCSS website:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>www.22wcss.org\/conference\/abstracts<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>abstract submission deadline is 24:00 GMT on the 31 October 2021<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>, and acceptance notifications can be expected in January 2022.

This is an opportunity to demonstrate your skills, whilst enjoying some time away in Stirling, the historic \u201cGateway to the Highlands\u201d. In teams of four you will spend time in training with some of the foremost experts in the field of soil science, before representing your country or region in competition at sites across scenic Scotland. With prizes presented on the opening night of the World Congress, during the prestigious opening ceremony, this is an accolade worth working for. The competition is open to all registered students who are not otherwise employed in any post relating to soil surveys, and who also qualify as \u2018early career\u2019 students.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Read more:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>https:\/\/22wcss.org\/venue\/soil-judging\/<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Attendance Survey for WCSS 2022 continued<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The world has changed, and life is different to how it once was. As such, we here at the World Congress of Soil Science (Glasgow 31 July 2022- 5 August 2022) are planning a conference a bit different to any that have gone before, for the first time we are offering a hybrid conference to allow participation where travel is not possible. We want to see as many of you as in person as we can, to collaborate and to share, to demonstrate and learn, but know this may not be possible for some. We need your help to know what to expect, to know who is coming, and how to adapt to meet their needs. We ask that you please fill out the form online\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>until September 20<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span>, or send us an email at\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>wcss22@soils.org.uk<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>, and let us know what your plans\u00a0for attending are.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Take the survey:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>https:\/\/www.surveymonkey.co.uk\/r\/HBDLKFM<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Congress website:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>https:\/\/22wcss.org\/<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Soil Science Society of America releases recommendations for climate change solutions<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Seeing the rapidly increasing focus on agriculture as a climate solution, ASA, CSSA, and SSSA released a new climate solutions position statement, Advancing Resilient Agriculture: Recommendations to Address Climate Change, which outlines concrete actions policymakers can take right now to help U.S. agriculture mitigate climate change and adapt to its effects.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Read more:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>https:\/\/www.soils.org\/news\/science-policy-news\/societies-release-recommendations-climate-change-solutions<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n News from the Malaysian Society of Soil Science (MSSS)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The most recent newsletter of MSSS is now available on the IUSS website.
