DCW chaired a second seminar today in Bristol, on how to deliver 2010 waste strategy targets at the local level. This is one in a series of 6 regional seminars, and follows the successful seminar which DCW chaired in London on 24 May 2005. His summary of that day’s proceedings is published under the title ‘Stepping into Action’ in the July issue of the CIWM’s Wastes Management magazine.
Defra’s Waste and Resources Research Programme today launched its 2nd annual open call for research proposals. Professor David C Wilson chairs the Advisory Group (WRRAG) and has taken a lead role in developing the programme’s Action Plan, which has been published with the call.
The 1st call resulted in some 26 research projects which are now underway, and the 2nd call is expected to at least double this number.
