2 Objetives SIRENA Network Focus: Techniques to improve crop Nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) Gaseous emissions Facilitate exchange of information and development of synergistic research activities Establishment of a body of national experts to participate in international forums Established networks will be used to transfer information to the productive sector and stakeholders Definition of scientifically sound protocols and recommendations 1. to promote communication between Coordination Committee Meeting, workshops and seminars Training Short stays of researchers in other groups Transfer activities

3 Coordination Committee 11 members Miguel Quemada (Coordinador) Antonio Vallejo Pedro Aparicio Tejo Jaume Lloveras Carlos Cantero Luis López Bellido Jorge Álvaro Fuentes Pablo Zarco-Tejada Rod Thompson Eulogio Bedmar Carmen González Murua 1. to promote communication between Meetings, workshops and Seminars Open to suggestions Workshops/Jornadas temáticas: 1) Nitrification inhibitors effect on NUE and gaseous emissions 2) Techniques to improve NUE in cropping systems 3) Gaseous emissions

4 1. to promote communication between Short stays of researchers in other groups Promote mobility between the groups inside the network. Enhance exchange and collaborations: techniques, methods The network will finance partially 1. to promote communication between Transfer activities Document: definition of scientifically sound protocols and recommendations Blog to favor exchange and connect with existing networks Interaction with private companies and stakeholders

5 to interact with national and international forums Collaboration with national groups or existing networks Open to any researcher or research group Networks: RUENA ( REMEDIA ( Support participation in international forums EU Nitrogen Expert Panel ( Task Force on Reactive Nitrogen ( C and N Cycling Cross-Cutting Group de la Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases ( Promote debates about N in agricultural systems Time line Año 2016 Año 2017 ACTIVIDADES 1º T 2º T 3º T 4º T 1º T 2º T 3º T 4º T Reuniones del Comité de Coordinación de la Red. X X Reuniones de carácter general X X Jornadas temáticas (1- Efecto en la NUE y emisiones gaseosas de los inhibidores de la nitrificación, 2- Técnicas para la mejora de la NUE en sistemas de cultivo y 3- Emisiones gaseosas) Estancias cortas de investigadores y actividades formativas para doctorandos.
