<p>Dear Dana,</p>
<p>At the mini film festival on pastoralism and at the venue for the
pre-Tropentag workshop on research in pastoral systems, we can
display materials about the IRC/IGC 2020 in Nairobi and can also
mention it at the end of the workshop, when we will also be
mentioning the call for an IYRP. <br>
</p>
<p>I will also investigate with the Tropentag organisers whether we
could also have a pastoralism booth during the Tropentag
conference where information about pastoralism could be displayed.
I will ask also several other organisations working on
pastoral(ist) issues and see if we can get something together. If
there are any organisations in the International Support Group
that would like to display materials about their work related to
pastoralism, they could also contribute. I will check to see what
it would cost to set up a booth during the conference. The
international research centre that is being featured at this
year's Tropentag is ICARDA, but I am not sure whether they do much
on pastoralism.<br>
</p>
<p>In any case, it would be good if you could arrange that IRC/IGC
2020 posters and flyers are sent to me for display/distribution:
my postal address is <i><b>Rohnsweg 56, 37085 Goettingen, Germany</b></i>.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Ann</p>
