The "DEUTSCHE TROPENTAG" (DTT) 2001 is an annual
conference on tropical and subtropical agriculture and forestry, organized
jointly by the Universities of Bonn,
Berlin, Göttingen,
Hohenheim and Kassel-Witzenhausen,
as well as by the Council for Tropical and Subtropical Agricultural Research (ATSAF
e.V.), in co-operation with BEAF/GTZ.
|
This year's "Deutscher Tropentag" was held at the Main Building of the University of Bonn, Regina-Pacis-Weg, 9-11 October 2001 |
||||
| We welcomed about 450 participants from
27 countries.
We saw 160 poster, listened to 72 oral presentations and enjoyed 17 key note addresses. Bloated with pride we received the positive feedback of colleagues, participants and the press for the DTT2001. We would like to share some impressions of the first day with you with the following images: |
