Upcoming Conferences, Events, and Workshops
Due to the ongoing Corona pandemic, most physical events are either canceled or postponed - notably, the World Bank Land Conference. Many other events to which IINAS contributes still take "place" online.
We all wish you to stay safe and healthy - it is in our hands.
