The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) is organizing an Africa-based conference that will focus on banana and plantain research across Africa: lessons learnt and the way forward. Fostering international partnerships is a major objective of the conference, with particular emphasis to establish the role of research in promoting future commercial activities and trade in banana, plantain and ensete. There is an urgent need to target basic and applied research that connects to existing and emerging markets. This unique conference will be the first pan-African meeting to link research to markets in an African context. Key priorities:
* Develop an African strategy for the next decade to exploit banana and plantain research
* Strengthen research partnerships to overcome production bottlenecks
* Harmonize research with production trends, emerging markets and trade networks
This conference is urgently needed as banana and plantain are key staple crops in rural households in Africa. They are also being increasingly targeted for income generation through improved linkages with the private sector. The conference also intends to foster research and trade experiences from other commodities. The result of this meeting will be to fully realize the potential of this crucial crop for poverty alleviation and wealth generation.
This conference is being organized in partnership with Bioversity International, the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA), the International Society for Horticultural Science (ISHS) and the Kenyan Agricultural Research Institute (KARI). We invite you to join us towards a successful and fruitful conference.

Web 2.0 technologies are more than just web-based games and social networks; these virtual environments are building communities of thought and practice which have very real implications for education and research in academia. How do educators, administrators, and librarians use or repurpose these tools to their advantage? What are the implications for teaching and research? Is the return on our investment of time and energy worth the engagement? How well do students learn through these collaborative avenues? What are the true benefits for scientific research? What are the potential conflicts or roadblocks? We will explore these questions and many more.

The 2nd International Conference ”Climate Change as a challenge for poverty reduction” will take place in Bonn, Germany from 30-31st of May, 2008.
The consequences of climate change are of ever increasing importance for development politics. Climate change poses a significant threat to the goals of the fight against poverty. The UN negotiations for a new global climate change treaty are gaining momentum; but without the consideration of the development politics' perspective an equitable climate treaty is impossible.
In the run-up to the UN Climate Conference in Bonn (2-13 June 2008) Germanwatch will hold on the 30 May (introduction and discussion, only in German language) and the 31 May (whole-day conference) an international conference on climate change and Poverty reduction.
Workshops will address specific themes in greater detail (e.g. climate change and food security, adaptation, deforestation, climate alliances). The conference will serve as a forum for opinion and information, and will send a signal to the UN Climate Negotiations: the path to a just Climate Treaty must be made clear.
Germanwatch in cooperation with the Heinrich-Böll- Fondation NRW and other partners with financial support from the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

The last two years have seen a dramatic, worldwide upsurge in interest and governmental support for bioenergy. In its 30th year, the Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals is uniquely well positioned to continue to attract experts from around the world who will gather in New Orleans May 4-7, 2008, to discuss the latest research breakthroughs and results in biotechnology for fuels and chemicals.
With the two-fold increase in attendance last year, the Symposium has been encouraged to modify the meeting format to include 12 dual technical sessions to accommodate over 80 presentations, as well as a Plenary Session and two large poster sessions. In addition, a Special Topic on International Bioenergy Centers, with presentations on the plans and expectations of newly emerging bioenergy centers around the world, will be the focus of a Tuesday evening session.
NEW! SIM will feature a placement service during the 30th Symposium. Employers and prospective employees wishing to participate should contact Bob Berger, SIM Placement Chair (bbberg@worldnet.att.net). Jobs and resumes will be posted in the Registration Area.
In addition, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado will have a recruiter present. The recruiter will discuss working at NREL and currently available opportunities. Resumes will be accepted for open positions. Located in the Registration Area.
Participants will also benefit from the exciting environment New Orleans and its French Quarter continues to offer.

Message from the organisers
It is a great pleasure for our labs to host the fourth International Conference on Speech Prosody in Campinas, Brazil. Speech Prosody 2008 is the fourth conference of a series promoted by the Special Interest Group on Speech Prosody (SProSIG) of the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA). The first one was held in Aix-en-Provence, France, in 2002, followed biennally by Nara, Japan (2004), and Dresden, Germany (2006). Now time has come for a change of place and hemisphere by welcoming prosody researchers in Brazil.
About Campinas
Campinas is São Paulo State's second major city with about 1 million inhabitants. It is the city of Carlos Gomes, a famous classic composer of the XIXth century and author of the Guarani opera. The name of the city, meaning "meadows", derives from its longer, older name, Campinas do Mato Grosso, a resting place settled for the Bandeirantes expeditions, going to the Caminho dos Goiases, during the XVIIIth century. The city was widely known in the XIXth century for the sugar cane and coffee plantations, which can be seen even nowadays in the outskirts of the city.
Speech Prosody
Speech prosody covers a multidisciplinary area of research involving scientists working on the suprasegmental aspects of speech, having very different backgrounds and coming from different traditions, including linguistics and phonetics, conversation analysis, semantics and pragmatics, sociolinguistics, acoustics, speech synthesis and recognition, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, speech therapy and language teaching, among others.
Call for Papers
The Call for Papers will be delivered by May 2007, inviting participants to contribute in all areas of speech prosody. We particularly invite the community to renew and broaden the interest in Rhythm Analysis and Modelling, Grammar and Discourse, Pathological Speech Prosody, as well as L2 Acquisition Prosody.
Best Regards,
The Organising Committee
