L. Cockx, M. Van Meirvenne, T. Tóth, G. Hofman, T. Németh 2005. Monitoring space-
time dynamics of soil chemical properties to improve soil management and
environmental quality, Proceedings of a workshop organized in the frame of the bilateral
scientific and technological cooperation between Flanders and Hungary. Ghent, 8-9
December 2005. 

Between 2003 and 2005, a bilateral scientific and technological cooperation project was
granted by both the Research Fund of the Ghent University and the Hungarian Science
and Technology Foundation. In the frame of this exchange project several short and long
(up to 3 months) visits were conducted by researchers between the Department of Soil
management and Soil Care of the Ghent University, Belgium, and the Research Institute
for Soil Science and Agricultural Chemistry of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in
Budapest, Hungary. This led to intensive collaboration, publications and even the defense
of a PhD at Ghent University under a joint promotership. Near the end of this project a
joint workshop was organized at the Ghent University and this volume contains the
proceedings of the papers presented at this workshop. The wide range of topics covered
indicates that this collaboration did not focus on a very narrow field of research, quite the
contrary.
