We hope you are doing well! We have a few network updates and opportunities:
1. If you or your laboratory already performs heavy metal determinations in soils or fertilizers, we kindly ask you to share the information with the network by filling out the Excel template no later than May 30th. The template is also available here for download.
2. All INSOP, INFA and GLOSOLAN (Global Soil Laboratory Network) members are welcome to participate in the joint working session to be held on Thursday, June 1st at 13:00 CET. The overall goal of the session is to exchange knowledge on the specific methodologies for the determination of total and available cadmium content in soils and fertilizers, explain the harmonization process and define the governance of the joint working group. More details on the agenda are available here.
In this regard, you are cordially invited to join the meeting to be held on June 1st from 13:00-15:00 CET. Please register in advance to receive the connection details to the event
