CIGR2011 will be held as scheduled.
First of all, we sincerely thank you for your prompt and kind inquiry after us. Tens of thousands of people were killed or rendered houseless by the most disastrous earthquake and tsunamis which hit the area of Northeastern Japan on the 11th of March, 2011. And what is worse, serious damages happened to the nuclear power station.
Fortunately, there was limited damage to most of our members and our workplaces. Due to this, it is pleased to inform you that we will definitely hold the CIGR International Symposium 2011 (WEF 2011) in Tokyo according to schedule, 19-23 September 2011.
We are looking forward to seeing you all in Tokyo in the coming September.

Growing uncertainty over the future status of water, energy and food resources in light of the devastating scenario of global warming has led the world to strive to seek solutions for the perennial development of humankind. Recent developments in biomass technology have raised the unexpected issue of the crop resource trade-off between energy crops, feed crops and food crops. CIGR has been dedicated to developing world water resources, to modernizing world food production and to conserving our environment with the commitment of agricultural engineers and scientists from CIGR member nations. The challenge currently faced by us for the coexistence of humankind throughout the world is to find a method to balance our resource utilization and energy development; this task might well be termed as a CIGR mission.
In the year 2011, all engineers, scientists and affiliates from 7 technical sections of CIGR will meet in Tokyo to discuss the updated controversial issues on water, energy and food along with the latest technological development that the world would seek.
