Dr J.C. Zadoks, professor emeritus ecological plant pathology, is the congress organizer. The following information will also appear in the first issue of the Indigenous Knowledge and Development Monitor, a newsletter produced by CIRAN/Nuffic (Centre for International and Advisory Networks). The Congress is divided into a series of individual symposia, each addressing a specific aspect of plant protection. The symposium 'Indigenous knowledge systems' deals with indigenous knowledge on plant protection. Special emphasis will be put on the way in which indigenous knowledge and scientific knowledge will complement each other and jointly contribute to sustainable development. Therefore the symposium will promote the dialogue between indigenous and scientific plant protection in an attempt to bridge the gap between traditional knowledge and modern technology. Specialists from various parts of the world have been invited to bring their experience and ideas into the discussions. Others are encouraged to present their views on posters. An additional workshop will enable all interested parties to participate in the exchange of ideas and views. Speakers and a selected number of poster presenters and participants will be invited to write a paper that will be published in a book, which include the proceedings and recommendations of the workshop as well. Invitees will be requested to put their views on paper as to the situation in their country provided it has not been dealt with in their papers. Convener and co-convener of the symposium are: Prof. Hans de Kruijf (University of Utrecht, The Netherlands) and Drs Guus von Liebenstein, CIRAN/Nuffic. Correspondence with respect to the contents of the topic should be send to the conveners at CIRAN.
