21st ESEE Seminar in Antalya, Turkey

The ESEE (European Seminars on Extension and Education) brings together a network of scientists involved in agricultural advice and extension: the intermediaries between farmers, researchers and other stakeholders.

 

The last seminar, in 2011 in Finland, was not very well organised. As a member of the steering committee I subsequently posed the question of whether merging with the IFSA  (International Farming Systems Association) would be an option. However there was sufficient interest in the continuation of this 42 years old network. Orhan Ozçatalbas, professor at the university of Antalya, offered to organise the next seminar.

He did so convincingly, with sound organisation and a beautiful location by the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Going forward, it would be great if we could shed light on yet more of the prevalent issues faced by members.

 

 

Two years on, there is a new opportunity: Prof. Martin Mulder (Educational Studies, Wageningen University) has offered to host the 22nd seminar in Wageningen.
