Dear Colleagues,
please let me announce an international symposium on
"Understanding Transition of Central and Eastern European Agriculture -
Institutional Change and Economic Performance in a Comparative Perspective"
taking place at the Humboldt University of Berlin from November 2-4, 2000.
The symposium seeks to enhance our understanding of the complex process of
institutional and organisational change in agriculture and its impact on
economic performance. It presents and discusses results of a research
project named KATO, which is the acronym for "Comparative Analysis of the
Transition Process in the Agricultural Sector of Selected Central and
Eastern European Countries". The symposium further includes invited
presentations by leading experts on Central and Eastern European
agriculture. Two keynote addresses, three invited lectures and two
roundtable discussions will broaden the perspectives by reviewing the state
of the art, drawing policy implications, and opening opportunities for
future research.
Researchers, policy makers/advisors, and students who are interested in the
transition process of Central and Eastern European agriculture are invited
to participate.
