University of Yamanashi, Japan is opening the workshop titled “Challenges for effective control ofnutrient cycle and pollution in water environment” in cooperation with Center of Environmental
Monitoring in Ministry of Natural, Resources and Environment, National University of Civil Engineering,
Institute of Chemistry in Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology and Toyo University, Japan.
The workshop is financed by Global COE, MEXT, Japan. The objective of the workshop is toexchange knowledge on nutrient cycle and pollution status, its major sources as well as the current
management and technical approaches for the control. Research collaboration, academic exchanges
and capacity building then encourage researchers, managers and students to transfer technologies
and expertise through the joint activities.
We would like to introduce our research activities of both Vietnamese and Japanese experts, and get
a vision for water environments in Vietnam from our first challenge.
