Dear Colleagues,

Unfortunately the Covid-19 pandemic continues to create challenges for 
many of us. However, the situation in the US is rapidly improving with 
many people being vaccinated. We have, therefore, decided to organize 
the next DSSAT workshop as originally planned. We will host the DSSAT 
2021 International Training Program entitled  "Assessing Crop 
Production, Water and Nutrient Management, Climatic Risk and 
Environmental Sustainability with Simulation Models" from May 17 through 
May 22, 2021 at the University of Georgia Campus in Griffin, Georgia, 
USA. The late registration fee has been waved, so you can still register 
for $1,500.  We will follow the Center for Disease Control protocols, 
including safe distancing and daily temperature checks, if needed.

I have attached the workshop brochure or you check the DSSAT web portal 
at www.DSSAT.net for further information.

Note that we are not planning to offer this workshop on-line due to 
logistical challenges with respect to the hands-on training of the software.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards and stay safe!
