FOOTPRINT annual meeting 2007

The FOOTPRINT 2007 annual meeting took place at the Casa don Guanella (Ispra, Italy) on 22 & 23 November 2007.

The aims of the meeting were to present meeting participants with reports on:
- specific aspects of the innovative science undertaken in FOOTPRINT during the year 2007
- the development of EU-wide agro-environmental scenarios covering the diversity of agricultural conditions with regard to pesticide transfer throughout Europe

Participants had the opportunity for the first time to manipulate early versions of the FOOT tools. An important objective of the meeting was also to facilitate feedback and communication between FOOTPRINT partners and meeting participants regarding the FOOT tools and their functionalities.

PDFs of the various talks which were presented by the FOOTPRINT partners can be downloaded below. You are also given the opportunity to provide answers on a number of issues raised by the FOOTPRINT partners (see form below).

covering the whole of the EU.
SUGAR is a truly innovative index allowing the identification of infiltration areas
and areas contributing to surface water across the EU.
