Dear Workshop Delegates and Friends, It is our pleasure to extend to you a hundred thousand welcomes, Céad míle fáilte. You are all very welcome to Wexford in the heart of the sunny southeast for the 17th International Nitrogen Workshop.
For the first time the Nitrogen Workshop will be using a remote controlled voting system for all delegates to give their opinions/perceptions/recommendations to various Nitrogen related research questions that have been devised to assist in providing policy related research advice. I encourage all workshop participants to embrace the system, ensure that they always have their controllers and to participate fully in the short electronic surveys. Above all the Organising Committee would like all participants to enjoy their time in Wexford and savour the wonderful food and drink from the region. Should you have queries or require assistance please talk to one of the Workshop Assistants in the white conference shirts or at the registrations desk. Finally we would like to thank all our sponsors for all their support, without which the Workshop would not have been possible. We look forward to your contribution. With kind regards,
Karl Richards Karl Richards 17th International Nitrogen Workshop – Chair
