St. Gallen/Arequipa, 3 April 2014 The Scientific Committee for the World Resources Forum 2014 in Arequipa has been established. WRF is proud to present over 30 experts from different disciplines and countries to constitute the Scientific Committee for this year’s event in Peru. For WRF 2014, we are glad to welcome a number of colleagues from Latin American countries, which will help to spread the word and to attract many scientists and resource professionals to attend the conference in October.

As in previous years, Prof. Christian Ludwig will chair the Scientific Committee. We are very pleased that Prof. Rosario Goméz from the Universidad del Pacifico in Lima has accepted to act as the Vice Chair of the committee. Prof. Goméz is the former Deputy Minister of Natural Resources Strategic Development of the Ministry of Environment of Peru, and has excellent networks in Peru and all over Latin America. 

The abstract submission is still open until April 25, 2014. WRF warmly invites you to submit your paper abstract (of about 300 words) through the WRF 2014 Conftool. More information on topics and submission procedure can be retrieved from the Call for Papers.

Welcome to the next WRF Conference in Peru!
