PROTINUS “PROviding new insighT into INteractions between soil fUnctions and Structure” is financed in the framework of a H2020 project (MSCA Research and Innovation Staff Exchange). The project assembles a multi-disciplinary team from the EU and three associated countries, namely France, Italy, Denmark, New Zealand, Mexico and Japan, coming from Research Institute and Universities as well as private companies. These teams combine advanced, experimental and theoretical research expertise in soil physics and chemistry, microbiology, image analysis, computer sciences, and systems modelling. In this time, 5 researchers who belongs to PROTINUS from France and New Zealand come to Kumamoto University for the fruitful discussion.

Please contact Professor Mukunoki below in advance when you attend the symposium.
